"We view the title's performance as more indicative of the difficulties inherent in the Nintendo market for third party products and not due to any misexecution on Take-Two's part. The disappointing first month sales reinforce our view that achieving meaningful success on Nintendo platforms remains a very difficult proposition for third party publishers."

As a gamer that play lots of games, I didn't play any GTA on PS2, and I also didn't have any plan to buy GTA:CW.
I expected low sales # of GTA:CW, but didn't expected <100K, which is why I didn't short it at all.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
