Chinatown Wars’ slow sales due to piracy
Take-Two CEO Ben Feder recently commented on the slow sales that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has been suffering from. Given that Chinatown Wars is the most popular M-rated game on the Nintendo DS — representing 50 per cent of all M-rated game sales in the US since February — and...
