| Seece said: 3DS GTA selling better than PSP version reasoning is poor at best, year old ports never do amazing, even if they're incrdible games (look at Bioshock and ME2 on PS3) for the most part that's because they got them on the other system, but be assured that if GTA Chinatown had released on PSP, it would have done much much better. That said I believe DS appeals more to your typical 'gamer' as I know a lot of people swear down the DS is amazing (actually I don't hear much to the contry) but don't rate the Wii at all. DS is a better platform for selling GTA than Wii will ever be |
It's a perfect argument because it disproves the people who claimed that the game sold poorly because it was on DS. You can't get a better empirical comparison than that.
Audiences go where the games are. If the games go somewhere, and the games are actually good and not just bastardized versions of the games (critical point for all the people who like to point at the bastardized stuff that ends up on Nintendo platforms and like to make their "Get over it. End of." assertions, as if they somehow have closer visions of reality than the rest of us), then the audience will follow. How many franchises have migrated successfully between platforms as exclusives (like Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter this gen), despite all the whining to the contrary?
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
