Over 70,000 copies sold in the title's second month of release.

According to NPD sales numbers, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has enjoyed a healthy second month of release. The game sold 74,000 copies in April, which is slightly smaller than the title's March debut of 89,000.

The announcement of Chinatown Wars'first month sales surprised many fans and analysts who expected the brand name to attract a lot of players to the DS-exclusive title. This sparked a controversy regarding if there is an audience for M-rated titles on Nintendo's consoles.

The combined sales put Chinatown Wars at 163,000 copies so far. With the second month of sales being solid, the title could enjoy good lifetime sales despite its initial disappointing debut.
