Right before everyone says DAMAGE CONTROL (lol I don't even own a DS so don't pull that one on me)
How can ANYONE even dare to compare GTA:CTW sales to the PSP Versions
First lets look at the past......a BLAST from the past if you want:
the 3D GTA's all SOLD in excess of 10 Million........the highest GTA:SA with 17.79 Million
The highest selling PSP GTA game (LCS) was 5.67 Million.......the lowest selling VCS was 3.37 Million
so basically GTA LCS got only 31% of GTA SA's fanbase.......while
GTA:VCS got 19% of GTA:SA's fanbase
BUT to be fair lets take the AVERAGE of all the 3 PS2 GTA games.....it comes out to be ~ 14.53 Million
So the PSP GTA's (taking their average) got around 31% of the PS2 GTA's Fanbase!
_________
now GTA:CTW is a 2D GTA game......so lets the take the average of the PS1 2D GTA's.....
its comes out to be ~ 2.87 Million (between GTA I & GTA II)
Now for GTA:CTW to be FAIRLY COMPARED to the PSP Versions sales.....we must find 31% of 2.87 Million = 0.889 Million
So the conclusion is:
For GTA:CTW to be FAIRLY compared to the PSP GTA's we MUST compare it to the PS1 GTA's (as they are 2D) in the same way that we compared the PSP GTA's to the PS2 ones (as they are 3D)
so GTA:CTW needs to sell around 900K to technically get the SAME % of the 2D GTA's userbase as the PSP GTA's got from the 3D GTA's
In Short
If GTA:CTW Sell 900K its "AS SUCCESSFUL" as the PSP ones.....& NO-ONE should complain!! (oh and it'll probably BLOW PAST that mark)

BTW this is all my analysis......tell me what you think
is it FAIR? or not?
