Well a 2010 laptop probably means it only had a 720p screen...I finished the Witcher 2 twice on a 2010 laptop, it wan't that high end.

There's something kind of funny about the best selling version being on the only platform W3 released on that had no prior connection to the franchise.
Why do we always combine consoles as one platform? Genuine question.
I wouldn't say "it's not worth to port them", I would say "Oh! The nepotism of Japanese industry".There are A LOT of Japanese third party exclusives on PS4 (EDIT: they're on PS3 also in Japan, but only on PS4 in the west) and Strategy third party exclusives on PC, in most cases it's not worth the opportunity cost to port them, but in a few rare occasions you'll see ports like Tales of Zestreia & Toukiden on PC or Type-0 on XB1 or Xcom on consoles.
I always found funny how "console" is considered as a whole platform.
This isnt a good sign to us PC users for future CD Projekt games.
The Far Cry franchise is doing great on console, no?
The PC share was expected to be much higher, surpassing PS4 at least, because CDPR is in very unique position as a PC gamer darling (no sarcasm at all).Do me a favour and divide 100 by 3. 30% of sales of a game on a total of three platforms is pretty good. Then you take into consideration the higher revenue per game sold they likely got on the PC version due to GoG (which outsold the Steam version per the last numbers they gave us) and history tells us that the PC versions of games generally have longer legs, I wouldn't worry too much about CDP realigning too much.
They may endeavour to do a much better job on the console versions next time (and they should), but with their own distribution platform to look after, I think we're unlikely to see CDP change up their priorities when it comes to PC too much. The PC hit what should be its target, it got basically an even split of the sales, the Xbox One version is probably the one that under performed.
cool. now make The Witcher 4

Nah. CyberPunk 2077 first.
That will likely be my first CDPR game.
Very happy for these devs though, their strive for quality and customer respect should be well rewarded. I'm a fan even though I haven't played any of their titles.

For a franchise that was PC only the console % is huge. Now I wonder how much of it was on ps4 and how much on xbox.

I am honestly not that surprised tbh. Consoles have a much larger core gaming audience.

Lol no.Wow @ the platform split. I was sure it was the other way around (70% PC, 30% consoles).
I guess I can imagine The Witcher 4 launching on consoles first now. I mean there would be a business case for that.

I can't imagine it and there is certainly not a business case for it. In particular not for CDPR, who have a platform on PC where they get close to 100% of the revenue, where on consoles the get, at best, 70% minus the platform licensing fee.I guess I can imagine The Witcher 4 launching on consoles first now. I mean there would be a business case for that.
In fact, why would they ignore 1/3 of their sales for the launch period at all? With the higher revenue per copy sold, too.
Not a Crytek franchise, bro.
The higher revenue came from digital sales.
That console vs PC sales split is crazy considering how PC oriented the franchise has been and that this is the first one ever for Playstation.
Also publishers covered 80% of marketing. Thats a huge chunk of the cost of a game. Combine that with a 25% digital distribution and this must have been massively successful for CD Projekt Red financially
