Alright. Lets play some devil's advocate here. What is the highest selling DS game that is similar in it's target audience to GTA?
Not just games for gamers, as that would include Mario, Pokemon and Zelda, but I mean similar types of games?
RPG's have had a level of success, though that is a bit more Japanese oriented.
Metroid did 670,000 in NA and Japan. That is pretty good, if not well compared to it's console sales.
Spiderman 2 at .47 million?
look for somewhat realistic games featuring human beings and violence takes you pretty far down the list.
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence did 190,000 in NA and Japan
Assassin's Creed: 170,000 in NA
Call of Duty 4: 140,000 in NA
Ninja Gaiden: 110,000 in NA
Some of those games got great reviews too. Oh sure, Grand Theft Auto commands a lot more attention than those franchises (or at least the port/minor versions of these specific games), but you can't ignore the fact that there have been very few sales of similar types of games.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
