i doubt rockstar would be stupid enough to waste money on that pathetic excuse for a gaming handheld called the nintendo ds after how poorly CW sold on it. I could see the next GTA getting ported to the psp at the same time as the PC edition is ported but not along with the console versions

Actually I'll be honest, I quite liked Chinatwon Wars. Plus I don't think you can argue with how it sold on the DS. It has been confirmed as the highest-selling DS game EVER and rated #1 as the best DS game of all time! I have to confess that I actually bought a DSi just for CTW and I'm quite glad I did because it is quite revolutionary and something quite new, different and refreshing as a GTA title.

 

You can't argue that it didn't sell well. Compared to a console title it obviously sold nowhere near the amount of GTA4 or San Andreas but going by numbers alone it is just not fair. The handheld market is nowhere near as established as the console market so arguing on units shifted alone is unfair. Considering with their first forray onto the DS RockStar got the #1 spot that would give them every reason to attempt to emulate that. RockStar Leeds always seem to deliver a great GTA game and I'm sure RockStar have already got a follow-up game in mind for Leeds to have a crack at. It would be unwise from a marketing and profit point of view not to build on the success their DS title produced so yes I would expect another game quite soon. Perhaps not this year though...if there is another game this year then it would perhaps be close to christmas to try and increase sales as much as possible.

I never knew it was the top selling ds game. However i remember reading that it sold around 250,000 less copies then it was expected to
