PREPARE FOR A SHOCK!

MEGA LOL!

Looks like 3D GTA's are way more popular, I found GTA:CTW more fun than the 3D PSP GTA's though!

or is there some other reason? low marketing perhaps?

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Piracy?

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

And price.

GTA: LCS is $20 versus the $40 of Chinatown Wars. Honestly, did they think a DS port that's more expensive than the DS version would sell well. Game was sent to die almost.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Well, to be completely honest, you're using Worldwide, and Chinatown hasn't released outside NA. It's not an excuse, sure, but in NA Chinatown it's outselling it

Still doesn't change the fact that CW's numbers aren't good

I agree leo-j advertising

BTW how is it doing on PSP PSN charts? anyone know?

but either way this is just awful

GTA:CTW HAS made profit for Rockstar, but I must say they must be disappointed in its sales on the DS as well as the PSP

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
