| Killergran said: As usual, I think Pachter will be right, but for the wrong reasons. My reasoning is a bit different. 1. The very best games on the DS, and the ones that are really worth buying, are the ones that you cannot get on any other machine. Like Brain Training, Elite Beat Agents and Phoenix Wright. Half the point of the DS is its uniqueness. 2. A Grand Theft Auto for DS feels, to me, half-assed. It's inevitable that it in the consumers mind gets compared to GTA IV as well as the not so good first two installments of the series. It's not going to be a flattering comparison. 5 million the first year is ridiculous. 1 million, possibly 2. And probably around 500k in the US. |
EDGE actually had a very glowing preview of it. It's a more of a short-burst play GTA.
