I must admit.. I did expect bigger numbers but the fact is that it's the DS's.. 5th year now? After 5 years and not having any prior GTA to build a userbase.. I think it was a dumb idea to bring one out so late.. It's happening to the Wii, third parties wonder why their games don't sell? because Wii owners have had 2 and half years of the best games coming from Nintendo. They didn't build a userbase for their titles.. Look at Red Steel! Still the Wii's BEST SELLING FPS. The userbase was there and lapped it up.. But no other decent shooters were there to take advantage..
Third Parties have to blame themselves there and that's why I'm glad EA are bringing over their core franchises this year. They need the userbase.. Before Wii is sitting at 100 Million sold and only 10 Million of those owners have even heard of Dead Space let alone be tempted to play it.
Take Two recently said they were looking to grow mature content on DS in partnership with Nintendo and to me I think it means that they knew exactly what I'm saying.. They can't expect a whole heap of sales when they're so late to the party.. It also says that Nintendo are going to support the DS for a LONGGG time yet but that's for another discussion..
