LOL I love the piracy excuse.

GTACW is released on bittorrents practicly launch day with a VAST number of downloads on a machine(DS) which is less effort to hack with a higher userbase. And the reason PSP version is doing poorly in comparison is piracy. ROFLMAO.

The reason this game didn't move as expected has nothing to do with piracy(though piracy was very prevelant in both cases) It's because people wanted a proper Third person GTA. Not a retro version. That's it, no more.

Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Oh, great. The perfect line for any poor PSP showing. And if it sells well, you can say "just think what it would be if we included PSN?!".

I said the same thing earlier...

By all accounts, DD is still tiny compared to retail for all consoles, PSP included. Until evidence pops up that shows this to be changing, DD sales can't be expected to be significant.

Until evidence shows up that its tiny, we can't assume it isn't significant, I mean FFVII did sell 100K its first week.
