Was the first made by Rockstar though?  I thought someone said they bought the IP? 

It was originally in development at Capcom, but development switched over to Rockstar San Diego who finished the game. Rockstar published the game in NA and EU, Capcom in JP. With Rockstar publishing and marketing it in the west less than 1m in sales was pretty bad, which is why I say it is pretty suprising that a sequel was made. In comparison to Rockstar's other non-GTA games in the last 10 or so years, Bully has sold about 3m (more with digital included from the 360 version), Max Payne 3 has sold over 4m, LA Noire has sold over 6m, and Red Dead Redemption has sold over 12m. 

The capcom,  take two history is interesting.  Didn't capcom used to publish gta in Japan?
