Yes it is a 'flop' when compared to its portable cousins.

You know very wel that it outsold the PS2 - previous console version.

Capcom planned 2 million sales for it. A million in Japan only is a great start.

PS2 games came before the series popularity exploded with portable games. Not fair comparison. Still pretty good sales. Over one million in japan on home console is always great achievement.

funny how depending on how people want to see it flop or not they allow comparisons.  if you want gta china for ds to be a flop compare it to ps2 gta's.  if you want it to be a success then just look at sales.  if you want monster hunter to be a sucess, look at sales, or at previous console versions sales.  if you want it to be a flop, look at handhelds sales. 

 

whatever makes you people happy eh.

I didn't say that it is a flop. I just pointed out that comparing it to previous PS2 versions is not fair. And yes it is true that it is not fair either to compare 2D GTA to 3D GTA. I just wonder why they bothered with chinatown in the first place when they just could have released new 3D stories game to PSP ( and maybe port it later to the Wii) and sell at least 3milj.
