Right before everyone says DAMAGE CONTROL (lol I don't even own a DS so don't pull that one on me)
How can ANYONE even dare to compare GTA:CTW sales to the PSP Versions
First lets look at the past......a BLAST from the past if you want:
the 3D GTA's all SOLD in excess of 10 Million........the highest GTA:SA with 17.79 Million
The highest selling PSP GTA game (LCS) was 5.67 Million.......the lowest selling VCS was 3.37 Million
so basically GTA LCS got only 31% of GTA SA's fanbase.......while
GTA:VCS got 19% of GTA:SA's fanbase
BUT to be fair lets take the AVERAGE of all the 3 PS2 GTA games.....it comes out to be ~ 14.53 Million
_________
now GTA:CTW is a 2D GTA game......so lets the take the average of the PS1 2D GTA's.....
its comes out to be ~ 2.87 Million (between GTA I & GTA II)
Now for GTA:CTW to be FAIRLY COMPARED to the PSP Versions sales.....we must find 31% of 2.87 Million = 0.889 Million
So the conclusion is:
For GTA:CTW to be FAIRLY compared to the PSP GTA's we MUST compare it to the PS1 GTA's (as they are 2D) in the same way that we compared the PSP GTA's to the PS2 ones (as they are 3D)
In Short
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Honestly comparing GTA:CW to the PS1 GTA games does not make sense just because they are both 2D. The DS game is very different from the PSP games, yes, but that doesn't make up for the fact that there are over 100,000,000 DS handhelds out there, and about half of that for the PSP. M-rated games will not sell well on the DS, just like they don't sell well on the Wii. These sales have nothing to do with whether or not the game is great, so why worry about it?
Who's the fu*kin nihilist here?! What are you, a bunch of fu*king crybabies?!

Dude, your formatting is astonishingly poor.
Although your argument does make some sense, saying a NINTENDO game is comparable to a SONY game is preposterous.
that you are using 2D and 3D sales to directly link PSP and DS users to sales percentages while ignoring the fact that no one knows how many went from the PS1 or PS2 to the PSP or DS.
i very much doubt the sales are down to it being 2d or 3d.
the sales are down to the fact that the ds's fanbase isn't interested in a game like gta/ they're not actually old enough to play it. Nintendo fanboys may take that as a dig but it's just the truth, nothing to do with the quality of the game, it's to do with the audience the game is aimed at
