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.
