5 million for such a great rpg is a saddening number.

Yea but lot sales are from GoG and they didn’t invest in marketing so much so I am pretty sure they made lot of money.Their team also is not as large as others studios.

And the game isn’t out on neither PS3 or the Wii. So it is a pretty good number they have there.

Should have been 10 million because of the quality of the series.

If they would have released 1 and 2 on PS3 this might be doubled. Seeing how the series is on PC, and 360 making those rounds they need to re-evaluate the market appeal to broaden the audience

We all know The Witcher deserves far more than it has received… I am just glad CD Projekt is sticking to making quality games, and not caring about sales numbers.

I will purchase anything made by them because of this.
