Im sorry but your logic is flawed. GTA 4 is far from dead. It is still selling and will continue to do so. And trying to compare it to SA is also a weak attempt at trying to downplay GTA 4's success. When SA was released the market was saturated with PS2s. It only makes since that it sold better because there were more people who had a console to play it on. And about the hype, what did you expect? GTA was the best selling franchise of the 6th gen. It revolutionized they way people looked at games, both in terms of sandbox style game play and adult themed content. Naturally, its jump to the 7th gen would garner a lot of attention, especially with its new build and improved graphics. Rockstar also did an excellent job promoting the game. You can hate on GTA 4 because it didn't satisfy your expectations, but dont try and say there are not millions of people out there who enjoyed and support the game. I for one do, and I totally look forward to the DLC.

A. I never said it was dead.
B. No it isn't down playing the sucess it's showing the hard bitter truth. Look at MGS4. Same sales as 3.... and that aint multiplatform honey. (and the ps2 was saturated then too... in fact... MGS3 came out after SA if I am not mistaken)
C... I don't feel like going past your first paragraph I already dismissed your points.
