Proving the analysts wrong, GTA: Chinatown Wars launched far below their prognostications in March with a mere 89,000 units sold, NPD has confirmed to Joystiq. The game was expected to show that a high-profile M-rated franchise like GTA could perform well on Nintendo’s handheld. With a mere 0.3% of the 29.3 million DS units sold in the US rocking the crime drama, that could be interpreted as not being a good sign for more big M-rated titles on the system.
Despite incredibly solid reviews, it appears that Chinatown Wars has quite the hill to climb towards analyst projections. Perhaps only having a half-month of sales is the issue, with the crime caper releasing March 17 … maybe next month will be kinder.

At first I agreed with you but after I thought and it is a bad thing since we probably wont get a sequel if this one doesnt sell. Hopefully it picks up and people buy this game

Need any more proof that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is the best GTA game you’re not playing? Rockstar has just announced the official opening of the Mr. Wong’s Laundromat browser game, which allows players to earn in-game money and unlockable costumes that can be sent to the DS cartridge.
Once you’ve logged in to the Rockstar Social Club and linked your game to the service, you can start playing the web game, earning “up to $10,000 per day working for Mr Wong, a local Chinatown ‘businessman’ who’s helped more than his fair share of cash trickle seamlessly and undetected through the streets of Liberty City over the years.”
The game itself is pretty simple — just catch money and jewelry as it tumbles out of washing machines, and dump it into Mr. Wong’s van. It’s an enjoyable diversion on its own, especially with included leaderboards. But as an online supplement to the DS game, it’s even more interesting! Too bad about the “If it ain’t Wong, it ain’t white” slogan, which is not only potentially offensive, but a near-complete ripoff of something that was already taken off the market for being offensive.
