New details have emerged today surround the upcoming release of GTA: Chinatown Wars. In an announcement by Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, he confirmed that the title would be released by the first quarter of 2009, placing the release date sometime between now and Jan 31st 2009. While this is far from the release date confirmation many were hoping for, it certainly is reassuring that DS players will soon have Grand Theft Auto.

A testimony to GTA IV's undisputed success, Take-Two Interactive announced today that the game has officially sold over 10 million copies world wide. To help put this achievement into perspective, 2007's top seller, Halo 3, sold a mere 4.8 million copies in comparison. The game has also brought in over $600 million dollars, making talk of a possible Take-Two takeover more popular than ever. Read The Rest...
