GTA:CW is just a bad GTA game. It is however an awesome game in it's own right. This is a case where the name of the game worked against it more than helped it. GTA is a franchise name. It only seriously attracts franchise fans. With the franschise having excellent full 3d environments it was a disaster to assume that this old school GTA would do as well. Anyone with half an ear listening would have heard that the GTA fans didn't bitch that it was on the DS they were bitching because of the view and "wasn't" a GTA game.
The fact that it sold a million on the DS is actually fantastic for the name working against it. If it was a console issue. Then the PSP version wouldn't matter and sold as well as the other titles. The reason the buyers of the Stories series aren't picking this up in a mad dash is not because it was on the DS. It's because it sucks in comparison to the other PSP GTA games. I'm not going to buy in on the PSP. I loved CW, but given the comparison of both machines I would rather get a full GTA game than some old school spin off.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
