CDPR has just published its financial results, and The Witcher 3 has sold more than 6 million copies in the first 6 weeks (the reported period). Their net revenue in the first half of the year was 237 million PLN

They claim it's still selling fantastically in retail and digitally.

That would put it up there with the best selling BioWare games. Maybe a tad above.

I think that leaves Diablo (30+M), Borderlands (12+M), and Bethesda's games (20+M) as the better selling WRPGs.

Would this be the best selling title Bandai Namco has put out since... well, in a good long while?

It's easily my GOTY (likely going to stay that way). So happy for them, well deserved guys.

Can't wait for the expansions.

Absolutely deserved. It's the first game I've played on the "new" consoles that's felt truly ambitious. Still playing through and absolutely loving every moment.

If we counted it as a Namco game, it would be in strong contention for their best selling game ever, but they only helped distribute it in Europe.

Congratulations CDProjekt. Not only the game itself but also the localization effort they put in is truly impressive. Also one million people activated their game on GoG, seems to have been a real succes for their platform.

Warner shipped it in the US and CD Projekt handled it themselves in Eastern Europe (the company actually started as a Eastern European game distributor).

They did get some loans to finish the project from their publishers, and the distributors paid marketing expenses in exchanged for preferred revenue/profit up front.

Good, the game deserves it. I'm like 18 hours in, but I'm playing on the hardest difficulty (Death March) so I expect to finish it by like October. I've died so many times.

There has been a ton of discussion on this topic already. Let's just say it had a decent size budget.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that CD Projekt Warsaw will handle Cyberpunk while CD Projekt Krakow makes The Witcher 4.

It's lifetime sales could easily cruise past 10 million. Especially if they release a complete or enhanced edition.

Really glad to see such a deserving game do well.
