Grand Theft Auto V isn't going to happen because GTA, and GTA-style games don't sell on Nintendo systems because, you know, they don't have Mario in them.

GTA: Chinatown Wars (DS Version) - 1.19 million units sold

GTA: Chinatown Wars (PSP Version) - 0.81 million units sold

Nintendo console wins!

Considering that GTA games on every other system typically sell vastly more than Chinatown Wars on DS did, by Rockstar and GTA standards--it was damn near a failure, and considered disappointing.  Especially when you consider the vastly higher number of DS units sold.  By your numbers and DS & PSP sales numbers, it sold--percentage-wise--better on the PSP.  But the main reason it sold poorly on the PSP was because it was "just a port" of a DS game on a system with it's own pre-existing "regular" GTA games--which sold vastly better than Chinatown Wars.

Yes, the percentages I mentioned aren't actual sales numbers, but it means that even as kind of a disappointment on the PSP, Chinatown Wars was still ignored by far fewer people on the PSP than on the DS.
