I loved the hell out of CW, completed it 100%. I'm one of the guys who liked the old school GTA's more than the newer ones. (I loved San Andreas though). CW is the perfect example of a game that was pirated though. A game targetted at an older audience on the DS is going to see a lot of interested parties with flash cards. I feel like it would have sold twice as much if this wasn't the case. DS's are just too easy to hack.
I'm pretty sure PSP sales weren't better than DS sales. If you go by install base it sold just as well to PSP owners. I can't understand how there is so much harping on the DS. Far more DS owners picked up the game without a GTA background than PSP owners with a GTA background and older demographic. Either way, you can't expect a handheld title with a far smaller budget to match a far far higher budget console game in sales. You also have to factor in the fact that there are tons of good DS games for DS owners to buy while consoles have a more limited library and a game like GTA stands out far more.
