as much as people want to talk about it being a late port, the PSP version sold 1/3 as much as the DS version. 

Less than that according to NPD.  They had CTW DS at 74,000 it's first month and CTW PSP under 10,000 it's first month.

i was just looking at vgchartz number.  I would be interested if we had further NPD numbers though.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Research is overrated, you get more hits when you just make the facts fit your theory.

For some reason gaming journalists seem to get away with blatant lying more than other kinds



I guess professionalism really is dead. Somehow, I'm not surprised.



Isn't there some PSP trolling in there as well?

"...millions of PSP's having the dust blown off them."

I guess the Wii isn't the only one sitting in a corner collecting dust, huh...?

The entire gaming industry is still in its children's shoes. Gaming ''journalists'' isn't that big of a deal and any crackhead can do it. In fact many of them are crackheads, somethign you don't see in other industries. But newspapers are getting their own journalists so the industry is maturing with these more serious journalists reviewing games. But most of us get out news online and here on the web a fool can get one million hits by farting.



lol.. I wouldn't call pocketgamers staff journalist.. anyway that Nik fellow in the comments provided a link to vgchartz number.. what a guy.. >_>

Doesn't anyone find it more disturbing that you pay 9.99 for the IPhone version while the DS, PSP and PSN version are much more expensive? While it's the same game? It also happend to Assasins Creed 2 for the iPhone.. that is the same version as the DS one but waaay cheaper..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

They can get away with charging more on consoles because people are willing to pay for it.
Meanwhile, try charging that on a phone and get no sales.



He's right. CTW on PSP completely obliterated sales on the DS...

Oh wait, I was looking at the stats for downloads on a torrent website...
