	intro94 posted 03/11/2009, 01:32 awww they first said this game would do amazing on the psp because ds is kiddy.Now they say its because it came some months later.Right.the psp owners rushed and bout this game for the DS theyy didnt have.OK....damage control FTW! Message \| Report

	jonop posted 01/11/2009, 11:37 he didn't mean the full 3d version that did better than this. Iv'e never actually checked these numbers before the way people were going on about this flopping I assumed it had only sold 250k or something. I think people just had there hope for this game too high. I wouldn't call 750k a flop. Message \| Report

	primogen18 posted 22/10/2009, 11:12 This game is still selling, and will definitely hit 1 million and more. I don't see how this is a flop and they rushed to port it to PSP, I guess DS isn't allowed exclusives like this. Message \| Report

	gustave154 posted 29/08/2009, 11:25 Hope the psp version will boost sales since it will make ds owners more inclined to play the original game. Message \| Report
	bmmb1 posted 28/08/2009, 06:39 Maybe they hoped for even better sales, but I seriously doubt they consider this a flop, those who declared this a flop after week 1 are the usual crowd. Let's see how much the PSP port sells... I have this feeling it will sell far less, though of course I may be proven wrong. Message \| Report

	zzyoshiman posted 19/07/2009, 03:58 this is a great game that deserves more sales. ds owners should buy this game Message \| Report
	intro94 posted 17/07/2009, 10:44 actually plenty of mature games like call of duty sell better on wii than DS, so they wouldnt change their mind.Compared to Psp isnt really a flop since this was a top down GTA not a modern one.This game wont sell better on the PSP.And from a normal point of view(not the "COMPARED TO") is not a flop but a hit. Message \| Report
	Salnax posted 14/07/2009, 12:52 Considering how disappointed people were about this game's sales, its doing quite nicely for a game in its 15th week. It really might sell a million copies. I guess it goes to show that DS games sell over long periods of time. Message \| Report

	TheConduit posted 06/07/2009, 01:22 When I said PSP editions I meant other GTA games of the PSP and not the upcoming port of this game to the PSP. Message \| Report
	TheConduit posted 06/07/2009, 01:21 Comparing it to the PSP editions it is a flop. I found it to be a great game and my only complaint is that it seemed short compared to other entries in the series. Im wondering if the dissapointing sales of this game could deter Rockstar from making a entry for the Wii Message \| Report
	SJGohan3972 posted 01/07/2009, 04:55 wow already near 600k, I haven't been paying attention - this will hit a million around mid to late fall and do really well over Christmas - eventually 2 million sales? Message \| Report

	megaman79 posted 25/06/2009, 06:58 If Take Two and Rockstar believe the propaganda thrown at DS and Wii audiences for the last 7 yrs they should be ecstatic with these sales. If they don't thats even better. They have evolved, unlike every other dev. wasting money and effort on crap for these systems. Its not just casuals and if you don't believe that you prob. believe that Sony and MS are working in ur best interests. Good luck with that and those 60$ games. Message \| Report

	ash3336 posted 30/05/2009, 12:07 500k in 10 weeks is a hit. Even for a big budgeted game it should be a hit. When this hits 1 million people will stop calling this a flop. Message \| Report

	bmmb1 posted 28/08/2009, 06:39 Maybe they hoped for even better sales, but I seriously doubt they consider this a flop, those who declared this a flop after week 1 are the usual crowd.

	intro94 posted 17/07/2009, 10:44 actually plenty of mature games like call of duty sell better on wii than DS, so they wouldnt change their mind.Compared to Psp isnt really a flop since this was a top down GTA not a modern one.This game wont sell better on the PSP.And from a normal point of view(not the "COMPARED TO") is not a flop but a hit.

	Salnax posted 14/07/2009, 12:52 Considering how disappointed people were about this game's sales, its doing quite nicely for a game in its 15th week. It really might sell a million copies. I guess it goes to show that DS games sell over long periods of time. Message \| Report

	megaman79 posted 25/06/2009, 06:58 If Take Two and Rockstar believe the propaganda thrown at DS and Wii audiences for the last 7 yrs they should be ecstatic with these sales. If they don't thats even better. They have evolved, unlike every other dev. wasting money and effort on crap for these systems. Its not just casuals and if you don't believe that you prob. believe that Sony and MS are working in ur best interests. Good luck with that and those 60$ games. Message \| Report
