GTA: China Town Wars was announced for the Nintendo DS at E3 '08. It looked to be a title that would help Nintendo branch out and grab a hold of the "M for Mature" market that Microsoft and Sony seem to be hogging up, also helping this cause was "Madworld" for the Nintendo Wii.

    March '09 rolls along and GTA: China Town Wars is released to a very warm response from critics. China Town Wars was now getting off to a great start, that was, until the numbers for sales rolled out. The NPD group announced that the game had only sold under 90,000 units, far below many expectations.

    This has me and allot of others wondering if Nintendo can really ne known as more than just a family friendly console and offer games for a more mature audience or if players decide that their just fine with Microsoft and Sony.
