Those games you list are all from last year.

Docomadake is 2 weeks old, some of the Sim games are from this year too. Anyway let's check other stores shall we?

Wal Mart $33.82

Gamestop $34.99

Amazon $29.99

K-Mart $34.99

Toys R' Us $34.99

Anyway 1 store (well 2 if you cansider Amazon's deal a offer) is NOT a signal of a game flop. If you have a Best Buy go and check it, maybe you can find something good.

GTA CTW is a great game. It's too bad that it isnt doing as good as the other gta games.



Well it's gone up to £23.86 from the initial price of £17.99 on Amazon UK.



Best Buy may have vastly overstocked on GTA:CW but that does not mean it's not selling, just BB was too optimistic and is now warehousing crates and crates and wants to reduce stock levels.



 

Sales denote bombs now? Don't stores usually have sales on wanted items to get people in to stores?

And by god it's annoying hearing people call a game that's on it's way to amazing sales a bomb.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Can't read the fine print but there looks like there's some restriction on GTA:CW (see under the price) which would suggest I'm right, it's just to reduce stock (they expected huge 1st week sales) not because it's not selling altogether.

And after all the times it turned out they jumped the gun with Wii and DS games, they still haven't learned.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

This will confirm the next handheld GTA game to be on the PSP since even with all the piracy LCS came to 5.6 million and VCS came to 3.3 million!

You can't blame Rockstar for trying, they seen the sheer size of the DS install base and could not ignore it anymore and this was the game to test the water and it would seem to have failed (depending on their expectation of the game)...



Singstar FTW
