Kizuna and Ace Prosecuter

Perfect Prosecutor is going to rock.  Sadly it's going to probably be a year before we see it in the West.  Damn you Capcom and your pathetic attempts at pacing the installments.  

And as far as what I played this weekend. Rune Factory, Rune Factory, Rune Factory, and a little Dr. Mario to shake things up.  Good news about Rune Factory is I'm just about at the breeze point and the rest of the game shouldn't last me too much longer. I'm predicting about 20 hours of gameplay from this point on.

Is it a poor profit proposition to release an M-rated DS title? EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich thinks so, estimating that GTA: Chinatown Wars sold only 200,000 units in March, less than many expected.

"It appears the industry may have been over-zealous with initial expectations on how GTA: Chinatown Wars would perform based upon the news it had received one of the highest quality scores for a Nintendo DS title," says Divnich.

Quality scores alone don't seem to be a major driver of sales on the DS, says Divnich -- he says many other DS titles, irrespective of their ESRB ratings, have scored 90 and above on Metacritic and have never broken 300,000 units in 3 months in North America.

"The results from Chinatown are an important benchmark for the industry, as it will be the best-performing mature rated title on the Nintendo DS to date coupled with one of the strongest mature-rated game brands," says Divnich.

Although GTA IV will likely post a profit for publisher Take-Two, says the analyst, there's an "elevated risk" for other publishers looking to go mature on Nintendo's portable.

"With the majority of publishers currently taking a risk-adverse stance, we expect this to slow the growth rate of future mature rated titles on the DS," he says.

By contrast, though, titles targeted at the M demographic can still thrive on the PSP. "Previous GTA titles on the PSP have sold in excess 1 million units lifetime," Divnich says. "The performance on the DS highlights clearly the demographic differences between the two platforms in the handheld market."

Take two said they were using this game to gauge how their mature content might fare on Wii. Bad times?
