	drakesfortune posted 08/04/2010, 03:30 Not to mention that the vast majority of the sales for both the DS version and this version are at $19.99 or less, and the previous PSP games sold a lot more at a much higher premium for a lot longer. So they made a lot more money on less sales on the first two PSP installments. Message \| Report
	drakesfortune posted 08/04/2010, 03:28 @spurge I have no idea what it cost to make, neither do you. I'd bet you $50 it was MORE than the cost of either prior GTA game on PSP, since those essentially had the cities prebuilt and ready to go, and the engine is just a modified engine of the PS2 game. They saved a bundle going that route. Those games sold about 9 million combined, this one combined with the DS game will probably sell 3-4 million. Again, this game, the world, the fiction, all had to start from scratch. So this almost definitely cost more to make than the other PSP GTA's. Further, it IS a disappointment. Rockstar has said they're very disappointed in the sales. Case closed. At the end of the day, they don't feel the effort they put in was worth the sales. That's the most important metric.

	aragod posted 06/04/2010, 08:07 This game is actually really good, I was rather impressed. Got it of EU PSN store sale for my PSP Go and I'm loving it.

	primogen18 posted 21/02/2010, 08:50 so called analysts and journalists ignore what they want to make a point, including how bad this seams to be doing on PSP compared to the DS. This along with every COD game and RE game on Wii are sales people love to shove under the carpet and throw dead space extraction sales in our faces, lol. sad and pathetic, but oh well. This game still rules. Message \| Report
	roccerfeller posted 15/02/2010, 11:14 Hey man, 350k for a game that opened with 12k is NOT horrid if you ask me. Its pretty damn respectable, especially on a system plagued by pirates. Message \| Report

	Samus Aran posted 19/01/2010, 11:51 The problem is a lot of game journalists use this game as an example why Nintendo platforms suck for adult games. Totally ignoring how bad this sold on the PSP... Ignorant journalists these days. Message \| Report
	xbebop posted 18/01/2010, 01:24 So, the reason why this game flopped is because it was 2D, not because of the DS audience? Message \| Report
	mai posted 12/01/2010, 01:25 Hmm, interesting trends. This one peaked during holidays, which is understandable, since it had relatively recent release date, while DS version took off again after distant March release just recently. Message \| Report
	nomorehalo posted 09/01/2010, 07:54 Proof that a series can only sell so much on name alone; people who bought GTAIV want more GTA. This game just looks too off-putting. No mystery about it, good reviews or not. Message \| Report
	DrYon posted 08/01/2010, 11:24 Yet, is very far from the DS numbers. To everyone who bet the PSP version would easily pass the DS version sales, got owned. Message \| Report

	OmegaRugalv3 posted 28/12/2009, 03:46 Seems it is that fans just do not care about the top down prespective GTAs. Before everyone was blaming the DS ... there is no excuse anymore now that it is on PSP. Take Two needs to stick to the post GTA3 view from now on. Message \| Report

	drakesfortune posted 27/11/2009, 10:15 @scourge, uh I think you're pretty mistaken about that. I think a lot of the GTA audience pirates, and I think PSP games have long slow legs, that end up paying off in the end, but I don't think the platform has any big blockbusters left in it outside of Japan. I think the platform is pretty much dead, which saddens me, because it's the best handheld out there. Message \| Report

	primogen18 posted 25/11/2009, 06:27 I see this getting a sequel and another exclusive game, while the DS gets nothing. I know this isn't exactly the same comparison, but Force Unleashed on Wii sold better then on PS3 and which system got the Sith edition? Message \| Report

	scourge29 posted 18/11/2009, 10:01 no no, this is like the most top sold game curently on psn, dont forget games on demand are on the psp now Message \| Report
	coonana posted 17/11/2009, 09:11 Well this proves its just the over the head and the art style that threw off less informed consumers. The DS can have such M-Rated content and sell well. Maybe they can make a sequal for the DS and change the artstyle so GTA fans can accept it more. I am fine with the style myself and love the game, but I want more GTA games on the DS and that can only happen with better guarantee for Rockstar. Message \| Report
	elmerion posted 16/11/2009, 02:58 @TrevDaRev so you are admiting psp owners are graphical whores who cant buy a game even when highly rated just because it has "bad graphics" (which arent bad at all anyway..) Message \| Report

	DrYon posted 13/11/2009, 03:49 TrevDaRev, you're just saying this because Chinatown bombed on PSP. If if sold better on it, everyone would say "Nintendo can't have GTA, DS is for kids" and cliche bullshit from Sony fanboys. Message \| Report
	TrevDaRev posted 13/11/2009, 01:40 Well of course it sold better on the DS. DS owners have no other choice if they want to play a GTA game, but with the PSP you have 2 other choices & When you compare the graphic on this to LCS & VCS of course you're going to pick one of them over this.

	-Z- posted 04/11/2009, 03:49 Actually, I really enjoyed this game on the DS. I don't know why it didn't sell well on that system. The PSP situation is tough, partly because of all the great games coming out this holiday season (everyone I know is playing Uncharted 2). I'm going to stay positive and hope this game's sales pick up by word of mouth. I plan on playing it soon. Message \| Report
	intro94 posted 03/11/2009, 01:38 sorry.i love the game.but im glad in a way...analysts asumed the ds"Only" sold 70k first week because DS owners Should be kiddy.And psp owners mature.I asumed this game wouldnt sell ANY better on the PSP.is not the market, is the game.is good,but its misleading design was the issue.

	primogen18 posted 21/02/2010, 08:50 so called analysts and journalists ignore what they want to make a point, including how bad this seams to be doing on PSP compared to the DS. This along with every COD game and RE game on Wii are sales people love to shove under the carpet and throw dead space extraction sales in our faces, lol. sad and pathetic, but oh well. This game still rules. Message \| Report

	nomorehalo posted 09/01/2010, 07:54 Proof that a series can only sell so much on name alone; people who bought GTAIV want more GTA. This game just looks too off-putting. No mystery about it, good reviews or not. Message \| Report

I think a lot of the GTA audience pirates, and I think PSP games have long slow legs, that end up paying off in the end, but I don't think the platform has any big blockbusters left in it outside of Japan. I think the platform is pretty much dead, which saddens me, because it's the best handheld out there. Message \| Report

	coonana posted 17/11/2009, 09:11 Well this proves its just the over the head and the art style that threw off less informed consumers. The DS can have such M-Rated content and sell well. Maybe they can make a sequal for the DS and change the artstyle so GTA fans can accept it more. I am fine with the style myself and love the game, but I want more GTA games on the DS and that can only happen with better guarantee for Rockstar. Message \| Report
	elmerion posted 16/11/2009, 02:58 @TrevDaRev so you are admiting psp owners are graphical whores who cant buy a game even when highly rated just because it has "bad graphics" (which arent bad at all anyway..) Message \| Report
