Why does GTA 4 require better system specs than Crysis?

GTA IV has a higher CPU demand than crysis, Crysis still has a higher GPU demand.

GTA IV is a cpu based game. This is due to the amount of things going on. Crysis has way better graphics but there is not much going on which is why mainly the GPU requirement is high. At most it is only you and a few enemies on the screen at once. IN GTAIV you have you, 50 pedestrians, 20 cars, and so forth,

Bad optimization + the fact that it has alot going on on the screen, compared to Crysis.

Because Crysis it's a really well optimized game and GTA4 a lazy console port. But for CPU it's normal since it's a more CPU dependant game.
