Most likely Microsoft again.
My bet is on Sony, this way CDPR avoids accusations of the sort you mentioned, that they favor one platform over the other. So the smart move would be to go with the other platform this year.

However at the same time, the people who would claim CDPR have some kind of Microsoft Bias if they did show a second time should really have their opinions disregarded because it's just idiocy.

OOOOH BOOOOY!

1. Witcher 3 was on Microsoft's stage last time, and it should be on sony's stage to re-establish CDPR's neutrality.
They aren't neutral already (consoles wise) since thy don't plan to support Steam Machines anyway (at least so far). I actually don't see CDPR appearing on Sony or MS stages as something to be especially boasting with. Yes, they do it for PR, but otherwise dealing with them isn't a pleasant experience.
Wait, dealing with Sony or Microsoft isn't a pleasant experience for CDPR?
For any developer for that matter. Getting on to their consoles is a tedious process because of their control freakery and all kind of levies they put in the way. Same goes for most of them (Nintendo isn't much better).
@gregski: Of course they'd praise it. Do you think they want to ruin their relations by saying all they really think about them?
Of course they'd praise it. Do you think they want to ruin their relations by saying all they really think about them? I'd be more interested in some internal opinions, rather than PR. But I doubt we'll get those.
@JupiteronMars: Claims that console companies are nasty? There are tons of examples. Often they charge developers not just for selling the game through them, but for developing it. I.e. for each developed copy they charge a tax (for example to prevent them from giving it to those who bought it for other platforms). In general CDPR's approach is that once you bought your copy, you get versions for whatver OSes they support. But on consoles they can't do it (or may be can, but they'll have to pay that tax, which is a loss for them, so they don't do it).
No no no would be no if you'd actually show that from developers who aren't giving a PR talk. The problems I described aren't imaginary and they are present (you can see it in TW2 already).Sorry, no no no no.
