I don´t know how representative the results of this poll is.
I would like to throw in a few numbers.
There was 28.3 million sold copies for the witcher 3 until now.
60% was from consoles. Therefore 53% digital.
Nowadays there would be different numbers (more digital maybe more PC).
Now lets assume they would deliver roundabout 21,2% from the possible amount of sales. So they would have an income from that players and CP77.
Fine...but think about the other 78,8% customers that are pissed of because they give a damn...you know.
If it would be you? Would you buy a game from a developer who delayed the long awaited game time after time and give that game to others than you 3 weeks earlier?
I am honest I don´t know if I would buy the game in this case....and no I am not one of the current gen users but I comprehend how they would feel.
It is more than theortical....and maybe I am totally wrong.
But maybe it is a possibility. So I think it´s a good decision for CDPR to not split the release date.
But to be honest the numbers will not be like back than. Because in the last 2 years the PC was the strongest source of income for TW3.
So maybe PC would be the strongest income now.
But I think it would be a finanicial loss if they split the release date.
But than again,when they didn´finish the game on current gen systems to dec. 10 I think CDPR will split the release because they wouldn´t get a penny from the x-mas time and I don´t think the investors would be happy about it.
