So, megaflop GTA: CW for DS reached 1M

I think it depends on how well GTA sells on Portable device. Not counting late crappy ports, of course.

How did GTA VC do on PSP??? If it's less than 1 million, then I will admit that CW is not a megaflop

Liberty City Stories sold over 6 Million

Vice City Stories sold over 3.5 Million

Thus proving that GTA:CW sold poorly due to the game itself, not the platform, as if it was due to the platform then the PSP version should easily have overtaken the DS version as there already was a multi-million GTA buying base on it (and this despite the PSP's lower install base) and the "low" number of sales on the DS (even lower when it released on PSP than now, months later) would not have affected its sales potential that much on the PSP (less than 1 million sales on a competing platform causing sales on PSP being lower by 2.5-5 million?!? Yeah, right!).

That being said, next-gen handheld console GTA is where it will really get interesting as the 3DS is likely to be about as powerful as the Gamecube (probably more) and thus amply able to run a 3D GTA game with a scope ranging between GTA:LCS and GTA3. We will then be able to compare a 3D GTA on a Nintendo console to 3D GTA's on non-Nintendo consoles.
