What backlash are you referring to?
The only thing I could think of is that since GTAIV went more "sim" as opposed to previous iterations being more far-fetched, it may have helped Saints Row 2, since their marketing campaign was based primarily about being a 'fun' copy of GTA.
And for the record, Saints Row 2 is better in some ways than GTAIV. I have certainly enjoyed my time with Saints Row 2.
At any rate, I think Saints Row 2 will be one of the (since it seems to be shaping up that way) suprise hits of late 2008 - Everyone is focusing on the "big" games, all the while Saints Row 2 has a great chance at selling 4 million copies combined on both systems, and become yet another Playstation 3 million seller....And has a very outside (but plausible due to PS3 sales in mainland Europe) shot at 2m.
And GTAIV08 - I really doubt that logic. Although we're going to see the X360 version sell VERY well in comparison to the PS3 version, the fact remains that we've seen time and time again that very few games are biased toward one platform - Good games sell well...GTAIV, DMC4, and other PS2-centric titles all did very well on the X360, which should speak volumes about how the inverse can be true for Xbox-gone-Playstation games.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
