This article comparing the various versions of GTA CTW seems to blatantly lie about the sales of the PSP version in order to maintain the myth that the DS version did not sell because DS is too kiddy. In the first section about the DS version:

"For some inexplicable reason, sales of Chinatown Wars on the DS have been quite disappointing, even though it received standing applause from the media. Perhaps the original platform wasn't where the GTAgamers were hanging out?"

Ok, sales were not stellar. It did chart though, as you can see here:

It also charted on NPD.

In the section about the PSP version:

"Sales of the DS version of Chinatown Wars suggested that the hardcore don't have a Nintendo handheld in their pockets, but the arrival of Huang Lee on Sony's device was met with the sound of millions of PSP's having the dust blown off them."

Really? Then, on the week of it's release, where is it?

And on NPD?

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
