best psp game ever with god of war



It's probably a tad higher now seeing how Others number is so old and outdated.

I dont think so tbh. Both GTA games took up prety much on the UMD, and a SAS would be a bit to big IMO. Also, the drop of sales form LCS and VCS isnt encouraging neither for T2 IMO :(


If that's the case (do you have a source?), they could either A) Make the SAS a big smaller and offer the rest as DLC on the disc or B) Offer SAS on the PSP at the PSN store or both.

Also look at the drop from the PS2 VCS from LCS it's just as big if not bigger (especially % wise), a GTA SAS would be a must own title and easily sell 2-3 million on the PSP.





The best-selling third party handheld game of all time.

It's sort of strange that right at the start, third parties approached PSP as a major part of their strategy moreso than they ever did Game Boy... And the top tier games, specifically GTA, had very impressive sales, but there wasn't an entire ecosystem from shovelware up through elite franchises all selling well.

Now DS, which started with just the trash from third parties, has built up to where it is getting the elite games PSP once did. It will be interesting to see if games like Guitar Hero: On Tour, Dragon Quest 9, or the DS version of GTA, will be able to reach the incredible sales of LCS.

Piracy has killed the PSP in the west....it has caught its 2nd wind in Japan though, but big name games still sell well on PSP, FIFA 08 is a million seller, GoW COO is a million seller (and would've made it without the bundles), I also hope that there are plenty of people downloading PSP titles from the store (as a lot more people would rather play from the Memory Stick.

Vice City Stories was better... but it was still probably the best portable game

Yes I have a source, but I dont want to give a torrent link;) Anyways, the CSO files are in the 300-400 mb, while the uncompressed ones ( which ocupie as much as they do on the UMD ) are almost 1 GB for LCS. For VCS the compressed file ( that should actually work ) is in the 500mb region, while the game is ~1.2 GB. A UMD can hold up to 1.8 GB data and lets be honest SA was more than 2x as big ( data wise ) as VC ;)

 

They could get all the simulator/RPG crap from the game and make a pure GTA... that could work tough ;)
