Now, now, people. I'm a 100% sure the PSP-version outsold it.

Out of 128 million DS owners only 1 million people bought them..

I was talking total, not from 1 to 2, or 2 to 3. I just checked and the DS has had 101 games sell over 1 Million copies.

PS2 on the other hand, has had 115 games sell over 2 Million copies.

And a MASSIVE 223 games with over 1 Million copies sold.

Well, for being a Top-Down game I wouldn't call it a flop.

I am sure the game is doing much better on the hardcore PSP platform that everyone wanted it on and said it would sell so much better.

Without knowing how much it cost to make its hard to call it a flop with certainty.
But I would bet the vast majority of those sales were at a very heavily discounted price.

DS version sold terrible, because it has a huge installed base consisting majorly of kids and old people.

PSP version sold great, because it has a smaller userbase consisting of hardcore gamers.

That's what I got out of this thread, anyway.

A GTA game selling that low, yea I doubt we'll be seeing another GTA DS game anytime soon.

LOL @ Carl. You sarcastically post about it being shocking for the game to have sold a million, and then go on to make weak excuses for the PSP version. It being a late port is only a big deal if the potential audience bought the game first on DS, but obviously since so many more copies of LCS were sold, they didn't.

The DS audience didn't eat this game up, and neither did the hardcore PSP audience. The simple answer to this is that it didn't have the same appeal as the 3D GTA's.

Both versions are doing ok, but not great. I don't think theres that much demand for a top down GTA though.
