Speaking of comparing American data, here's the comparison between handheld GTAs I posted before using Americas sales only:

Chinatown is still splitting the difference between VC Stories and LC Stories. If this trend holds, I don't think Take 2 will have anything to complain about.

Especially since it likely didn't cots anywhere near as much.

If we are factoring in budgets, then I think the cost/revenue of the PS2 port of VCS and LCS should also be mentioned.

 

Depends on how similar the PSP and PS2 are in terms of the code and data they accept.
