Not hating on GTA (I love that game, who doesnt), but gauging a game's popularity in terms of millions raked in via franchise can be a tad iffy, since you don't take into account the above factors.

PS3 won't even have that many units sold by the end of the year...mostly because they couldn't produce that many lol

Re: Looking for first person shooter game for new computer!

I saw one, I was horribly unimpressed. It would definately amuse little kids, but damn, the graphics were barely better than the original xbox and the game play was weak as hell. Thats what a low price tag in a sea of higher priced units will do.
