No matter how good games such as GTA Chinatown Wars on the DS or Madworld, etc. are on the Wii, it often seems like the sales numbers end up being extremely low considering the size of the userbase.  This is an important lesson that IMO developers need to be aware of.  Simply looking at the number of consoles sold is not good enough justification to make certain games.  You have to know your audience.  No matter how good GTA on the DS is, it's the wrong audience.  This becomes a self perpetuating problem.  A developer puts out a "hardcore" game, it sells poorly and it reduces the likelihood of them putting out more "hardcore" games.  Therefore, the system has a hard time attracting "hardcore" gamers which is why the game sold poorly in the first place.

Such a highly reviewed game from a MAJOR franchise, should not be down to almost half price already.

They should stop with the "Hardcore" word it really sound like a porno "Core" is better.

Wow!  That actually does sound a lot better.

Lol

Lucky you guys have best buy, i would love to buy those games.

Those other games you mentioned at BB are old or "meh" games.  It is surprising to see something as new as GTA:CW so cheap so fast.

It bombed for a GTA game.

But it seems to be having good legs, give it a couple of months before you say its bombed overall.

Dokomodake is not meh is actually pretty good. They have few new releases on PS3 and only one good game on the 360 section (Command and Conquer 3, released 4 months ago)

another gta and madworld thread.


there should be an auto ban for creating threads for the 1000th time with the same crap.
