I'd say that's pretty decent given the poor reception of the 3DS and the fact that its a fighter on a hand held. I'd prolly still play DoAD if it wasn't for the piss poor online setup.

i bought it and play it a little bit, but id say it was one of the worst DOA out there. the use of range attacks doubled the noobs online, and the grade points was all messed up. but if your looking for a funning fighting game on a portable device i'd say its the best for that category.

I'm among the people who own it, and I still play it, though my opportunities to play online are currently limited due to personal circumstances. Despite being a handheld on a platform that doesn't have the most ideal of controls, I haven't given up on the game nor the 3DS. Being a Christie player proud of the costume selections and having some tweaks that made her decent in 4.0, that and my own personal tolerance for DOA4 should hold me until DOA5.

I think releasing in May gave it it a benefit in sales actually. At that point, everyone with a 3DS was done was done with their launch titles and looking for something new. Again, all speculation but it's based on a lot of comments I saw on NeoGAF.
