Getting reviews out early helped this game out big time.

 

[Courage]

It deserves it.

 

[KnockOneOff]

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol


EDIT: forgot about Bloodborne and the order

Also games like dying light , battlefield , evolve & mortal kombat

Dam I need to go buy some games!! the order, dying light and witcher 3 & batman - eak! Must catchup before gears hits!!

 

[LegalEagleMike]

If you have a good game, let it review early seems to be the lesson here.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

[Ostinatto]

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol

Really?

 

[ekim]

Nice! Would love to see the platform split. I guess something along 50/30/20 (PS4/XO/PC)

 

[burgerdog]

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol

Uh, not really.

 

[Lemondish]

Getting reviews out early helped this game out big time.

That's true, but only because the game is fantastic. Early reviews could have done the opposite if it didn't turn out to be so great.

 

[RoboPlato]

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol

Where have you been this year?

 

[Duffman]

the game is going to sell gangbusters

I'm waiting for more impressions before jumping in, though.

 

[GodlyTwins]

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol

 

[Nirolak]

That's very strong for a game, even if it's a day before launch.

 

[Leatherface]

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol

Bloodborne says oh hai!

 

[GnawtyDog]

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol

I am surprised it's the first AAA title you will play this year.

Hopefully it will hold me well until Batman Arkham Knight.

 

[Mass Effect]

damn, 500k in only a week and right before launch? That's insane.

Doesn't surprise me with the first AAA of 2015 lol

uh what?

 

[ironcreed]

Congrats, CDPR. The game looks incredible.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder what the platform split is like.

 

[KnockOneOff]

Bloodborne says oh hai!

Your right man, forgot about bloodborn and the order

 

[Jawbreaker]

And with just one post, the thread has been derailed.


Great numbers for the game! I'm curious to see the hardware split on this one.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

I got my pre-order at $40 CAD

 

[Interfectum]

The power of positive review scores... wow.

 

[YuShtink]

Congrats to CDPR, they are the talk of the industry this week. Much deserved.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

That is some strong numbers! Can't wait for my copy tomorrow!

Your right man, forgot about bloodborn and the order

Also games like dying light , battlefield , evolve & mortal kombat

 

[Newtype-001]

Mang i want the game so bad.

I wonder what sales expectations are.

 

[Obliterator]

Increased by 500,000 since the last update?

Daaaaaaym. Game is gonna be a monster

 

[many places]

They are also meeting with the Polish prime minister.

[Serrato]

Wow. There will be massive ploughing starting tonight!

 

[Duffman]

Nice! Would love to see the platform split. I guess something along 50/30/20 (PS4/XO/PC)

PC split must be higher than that.

 

[Sijil]

Congratulations to CDPR, well deserved, good to see a company rising from localizing Baldur's Gate to making their own AAA RPG.

I would really be interested in seeing GOG vs Steam numbers tho, just to see how much mainstream traction GOG is getting.

 

[Kinthalis]

Nice! Would love to see the platform split. I guess something along 50/30/20 (PS4/XO/PC)

HAHAHA!

No...

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looking forward to getting my copy.

 

[Dictator93]

Nice! Would love to see the platform split. I guess something along 50/30/20 (PS4/XO/PC)

I am pretty sure PC will end up being the largest SKU for this game after time goes on. Just... for a number of reason.

 

[ironcreed]

Getting reviews out early helped this game out big time.

Yep. They knew they had a masterpiece on their hands.

 

[ChosenPredator]

a step closer to cyberpunk thats what i REALLY want from these guys hopefully that sells in the millions as well.

 

[EMT0]

Nice! Would love to see the platform split. I guess something along 50/30/20 (PS4/XO/PC)

20% PC on a Witcher game? Really?

 

[hemo memo]

Pure single-player experience.

 

[ZhugeEX]

That's very strong for a game, even if it's a day before launch.

It's amazing. What did the first two games sell?

 

[RoboPlato]

I just realized, this is doing almost as well in early sales numbers to a Battlefield game releasing on more platforms. Wow

It's amazing. What did the first two games sell?

Something like 5 million combined between the two. These numbers are crazy for Witcher 3

 

[ekim]

20% PC on a Witcher game? Really?

How much did the second sell on PC (lifetime)

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Amazing numbers. I can see this doing 10 million in its lifetime.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Pure single-player experience.

really should be emphasized- its been a long time coming

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

It's amazing. What did the first two games sell?

W1+2 = 6 million iirc

 

[UnrealEck]

From the reviews, it seems deserved.

Spoiler

Regardless of the whole technical shitstorm there is brewing at the moment.

 

[Duffman]

How much did the second sell on PC (lifetime)

Over 3 million.

[shiftplusone]
