128 million userbase + its Grand Theft Auto = 1 million sales? That's still a flop.

PSP only has about 57 million userbase and Liberty City stories managed 6 million sales.


If it was a new IP or whatever I'd eat crow for calling it a flop; for GTA however, its a flop.

 

It's a huge user base, wider than that of anything Sony or Microsoft has, and on a console that has never before hosted a GTA game, let alone one that is for many, a radical departure from the type of GTA game that they have been used to playing.

Also, what other games are PSP owners really supposed to buy? There's like "zero" competition for a GTA game on that system. Unless you're counting ATV: Offroad Fury.

 

Seriously, one of these two handhelds has a gigantic library of games, and the other has some movies you can buy on discount at k-mart.

You can justify the weak sales however you want. Yeah GTA has never been on Nintendo before. I guarantee if they put Super Mario Galaxy on Ps3 or 360 it would sell millions, it wouldn't matter that Mario has never been on Sony or Nintendo.

And yeah you're probably right, the lack of competition helped GTA LCS sales on PSP just like being a launch title helped Resistance FoM sell really well. But you know what competitition GTA did have on PSP? Yep, you guessed it. PIRACY. How many millions of copies do you think have been downloaded illegally?
