Ignorance? Its a fact. You are ignorant if you think TW2 sales would be worst then 1 million if game would be released on PS3 and 360 instead of PC. It would be 2-3 million by today no problem with piracy almost non existent on PS3.eskiMoe said:
I never said piracy wouldn't have some sort of effect on the sales. But it's not as bad of an issues as people make it out to be. And do you honestly think TW2 would sell well on PS3 when even Sony's own exclusive PS3 games with big marketing campaigns don't sell much better? Like Killzone 3, Resistance 3, Motorstorm games, Infamous 2 etc.Saoe said:
The game sold better on PC. Fact.Saoe said:
When was the last time a single player exclusive game sold 3-4 million copies on any platform?Saoe said:
Uncharted & GT5 had multiplayer. I thought we were discussing SP only games? MGS4 though sold like crazy but it's a very established franchise altogether and more of an exception anyways. Most best selling games (apart from Japanese franchises like MGS and FF) are the ones with multiplayer modes.Saoe said:
No. Don't rush Witcher 3. W2 was a bit rushed, like half a year, and that caused alot of giref. Don't rush it - make it the best quality game ever. W2, being an awesome game, will defend itself on its own in sales, and definetly will get a boost in sales on PC also due to the x360 release and the Enchanced Version227 said:
Of course they shouldn't rush it, but hiring a couple hundred (thousand, million) people to fast-track the whole process and hit us up with that Wicha-ness sooner wouldn't be a bad thing. Adding a few things to bolster productivity couldn't hurt either, like replacing sleep with caffeine pills and attaching car batteries to employees who are constantly monitored via webcam so that we can shock them if they're slacking off. Innocent little things like that.Max said:
Years. Ugh, that word wounds me. It feels like we're going to have to wait until everyone is flying around with jet packs before it'll be released.Max said:This way those years until Witcher 3 hits the shelves will go by faster!
Reaaaaaaaaaaally? I didn't know that. Props to them for being so consistently awesome and dedicated, then.Max said:
And now I regret never watching the stuff on the bonus DVD. Meant to, but the soundtrack was always... right... there...Max said:
I agree. Witcher 2 is a purely single-player game and a relatively new IP as far as videogames go (at least in comparison to MGS, FF, Legend of Zelda, etc.). Plus Witcher 2 had a much smaller budget and very little advertising compared to most high-profile releases, so I think the sales are very good. And surely now that they're investing a bit more in advertising for the 360 version, the sales for both versions will increase.eskiMoe said:Uncharted & GT5 had multiplayer.

And btw, Starcraft 2 was pirated by the millions. Didn't stop it from selling 4-5 million or so last time I checked (About a year ago) And iirc it still wasn't released in China at the time.
Also, Minecraft already broke 4 million sold copies before it was officially released
Since they've added several hours worth of new missions, mainly during Act 3 near the end of the game, I think that the Enhanced Edition will have much more foreshadowing in terms of what will be in TW3eskiMoe said:Oh come on, they could at least tease us with something about the next Witcher so we can all start speculating and arguing.

The game was released in late May, so it wasn't really a year.GibbGeralt said:
