Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars debbuted on DS with a "small" launch and therefore was named has a flop, it was DS's audience fault for such bad sales. The game is still selling at a low pace and is in the ~800k mark.

 

The PSP version launched a few weeks ago and it didn't managed to reach 40K yet. I guess the PSP's audience is what? Casual????

 

Or it is the game style, sky-camera that cutt is sales?

 

It's time to admit that this game had brilliant sales on the DS for what it is, Rockstar just could have done a better effort on bringing a proper 3D GTA experience for the DS owners.

C.O.P The Recruit is an example that Rockstar can follow to create an open sandbox engine in the portable system.

 

or maybe a more logical understanding is that GTA chinawars is a flop...

 

don't praise the DS version just because the PSP version is floppier ROFL you're just making yourself look like an idiot IMO

 

flop game is flop period.

...You really cant tell Xxain?

@ friction - But is it more of a flop? Time and time again late ports prove to sell less on the system then what they normally would have if its been released same day. Looking at DS numbers as a guide and Id say my expectations for the game would be less then 400k or so. Before the game released though I'd say my expectations for the Ds would be around 2 million.

ECC - the game was a flop... a port wont change that. Why didn't UT3 sell 2x more than the ps3 version even though the 360 is more shooter friendly?

Late port, top-down view.

Simple as.

LCS and VCS showed that PSP can sell bucket loads of GTA, even in spite of the crazy piracy levels.
