Aren't we kind of just using the word "mainsteam" or "niche" to mean "successful" or "unsuccessful" at this point?
I agree that they probably didn't spend very much on developing Chinatown Wars. In that sense, the game is probably like a niche game.
However, they almost certainly predicted higher sales (otherwise why would the developers themselves complain?)
I'm not making that up, right? Rockstar said they were disappointed in sales at some point? I might be making that up...
