Forums - Gaming Discussion - Not DS's fault. GTA CW PSP is an absolute FLOP!!!!

With the exception of Dissidia, every 2009 western PSP release has been a flop. I wonder what would CW do on PSP in 2006/2007.



Around the Network

Don't you guys think its possible that it's selling like crap on the PSP because:

1) The people who wanted it also have a DS and bought it there
2) PSP owner view it as a "lesser" game as a DS port
3) PSP owners are pissed its coming to them later (timed-releases always sell less on the 2nd release).

Not saying anything bad about the DS sales, just that theres a reason its selling so crappily on the PSP.

Also maybe the fact it had zero promotion and hype. I didnt even know the game came out yet tbh and im on gaming websites constantly. im guessing im not the only one.



And what if COP bombs? What then? I agree that the birdeye-view didnt help, but the PSP game was a late port of a technically inferior system... and that says a lot. Of course that people wont buy it when there are already 2 3D, 3rd person GTA games on the PSP, which cpombined have almost sold 10 million

No way, you guys! It could have sold many millions through downloads!

Impressive as always badgenome



no one blames piracy for PSP sales????




 

 

                     

Horrible reasoning. Liberty City Stories sold over 5 million copies on PSP, and Vice City Stories sold over 3 million.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the PSP audience doesn't care about a GTA game ported from a system with vastly inferior technology? It'd be like if they ported a decent Wii game to the HD consoles, no one with the HD consoles would touch it.
