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.

 

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

 

No, the biggest Rockstar Leeds team ever.

 



i knew this would be an epic fail



You should be beaten, burned to ashes then someone should throw your ashes from a plane

That's pretty awful, way worse than i was predicting.



I dunno, I didn't expect it to sell under 200,000...

This is the first GTA game on Nintendo. Lets see the smash hit amazing sales for kids games and minigame/mature brain style games on PSP or even the 2 HD's.

Remembering T2 remain confident in LONG TERM sales. Something no other competitors can rely on.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Incredibly bad.



Don't forget the Legs folks, it will have plenty of them.

You left that part out. So its not been confirmed by NPD yet? They've asked for confirmation but did they get it?

Some developer at Neo GAF confirmed Chinatown Wars sales. Also, apparently Madworld sold
