Only 140,000 copies in the first week. Since we all know DS and Wii games are trackable from the very first week, we know this game is having horrible sales already.

Let's laugh at Rockstar for thinking third parties can sell on a Nintendo system, because we certainly aren't going to be proven wrong in three to six months.

EDIT: Yes, there is a typo in the title. Show me where I can edit thread titles, and I'll gladly fix it.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Sarcasm? Or do you think this game won't have legs?

What! 140k first week for such a huge name brand? Lol Ds can't sell HC games! (...)
Rockstar will be extremely disappointed with 140k--any game can do that.

*Points at Rockstar* Hahahahah

Did anyone really, truly expect anything different?

I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Of course it is not a confirmed flop now, but nothing compared to the console variants, or Liberty City Stories (I think it did better than Vice City Stories though)

Actually, based on the first week of this compared to brain training, a typical DS game, I've calculated that this game will sell 2.4 bazillion copies ltd.

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
