DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Will Be The First "Z" Rated DS Game This fall Japan gets the DS version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and it's rated CERO Z, that's like the equivalent of being rated AO by the ESRB.

All of the Grand Theft Auto games have been rated CERO Z so this isn't really a shocker. However, Chinatown Wars will be the first Nintendo DS game with the rating and the second CERO Z game on a Nintendo platform. Killer 7 from Capcom is the other CERO Z rated game on Nintendo hardware.

DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - Rockstar Explains Difference Between Building Grand Theft Auto On PSP And DS Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is a DS exclusive no more; Rockstar Games announced today the touch screen-enabled trip through Liberty City is arriving on PSP later this year. Lower-than-expected sales may have been a primary motivator here, but is moving the game to PSP the right move? Chinatown Wars is not the GTA experience Rockstar has delivered on the platform before -- in fact, prior to Chinatown Wars' release, Rockstar told the press there were specific reasons GTA was different on each platform.

Gordon Holl, founder and president of Chinatown Wars developer Rockstar Leeds, was interviewed by a number of publications, where he discussed the reasons Chinatown Wars looked and felt so different from Rocsktar's previous GTA handheld games.

DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars -  GTA: Chinatown Wars struggled "because of what people are looking to buy," says Dead Space dev VG247: Dead Space: Extraction exec producer Steve Papoutsis has pinned MadWorld and GTA: Chinatown Wars' lacklustre reception on Wii and DS down to general unsuitability.

"I think that's happening because of what people are looking to buy, I guess," he told VG247 when asked if he was disconcerted by Sega's struggle in Wii's core space and GTA: Chinatown Wars' lack of traction on DS, talking at EA's spring showcase in London last week.

DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - Nintendo: 'Chinatown Wars' Sales Will Prove M-Rated Content Belongs On DS The game's publisher and retail chain GameStop already told MTV Multiplayer earlier today that there's no reason to count the game out yet. Later in the afternoon, Nintendo said the same thing.

"'Chinatown Wars' is performing in line with AAA titles that have come to our platform like 'Spore' or 'Lego Star Wars," Steve Singer, vice president of licensing and the man who manages third party relations for Nintendo of America, told me in a phone interview. "Those games went on to have very different life-to-date sales numbers." A Nintendo rep pointed to sales of "Call of Duty 4" on the DS, which had sales of 36,000 units in its first month and went on to sell more than 500,000 copies.

DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - Analysts Disagree Widely About 'GTA: Chinatown Wars' Sales The NPD group's sales stats for U.S. video games in March will be released this Thursday. But, before then, top analysts have cast their predictions.

One notable entry in the NPD list will be "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars," as it represents one of the few M-rated games on the system, is one of the few games made to high quality standards for the DS by a third-party, and, of course, the first "GTA" on the platform.

Michael Pachter, the well-established analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities, predicts "Chinatown Wars" at 450,000 units for the NPD reporting period ending in early April.

Jesse Divinich, analyst at research group EEDAR, pegs the sales "in the 200k range."

DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - EEDAR: Chinatown Wars performance proves mature DS games 'risky' Leigh Alexander from Gamasutra writes:

"Is it a poor profit proposition to release an M-rated DS title? EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich thinks so, estimating that GTA: Chinatown Wars sold only 200,000 units in March, less than many expected.

"It appears the industry may have been over-zealous with initial expectations on how GTA: Chinatown Wars would perform based upon the news it had received one of the highest quality scores for a Nintendo DS title," says Divnich."
