Forums - Nintendo - Business Insider: GTA Chinatown Wars bellyflops (88,704 sold in US)

The real problem is that there are a lot of adult DS owners but they are people who rather play Brain Age than GTA.

I personally expected something in 200,000-400,000 range. 88,704 is beyond horrible...

 

I honestly thought it would sell like VCS, if not LCS. Don't forget PSP userbase was very, very small back then. I dunno what happened here...



is the game only sold at gamestop?



No sugar coating that just like anything PS3 related in NA, that's just bad. R* were also boasting about the game coasting much more to make compared to the PSP ones so I wonder how many sales will be needed to break even.

Yeah, they said they had their biggest team ever working on the game for two years.

thats too bad, its the best ds game ive played since revenant wings or prof layton . . .



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Wii Friend Code: 4094-4604-1880-6889

Hm. Has VGChartz seemed a little off lately? Odd sales...



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Yeah, I bought the game at launch, even though I should have bought it at Amazon...

Biggest team? As in there biggest team for a handheld correct?

No one can justify 88,000 units being good from any Grand Theft Auto game. A huge let down in the sales side.
