It could be mistake. But I would be very glad to see it happen.

The always make mistakes but the devs said that they will try to put Witcher 2 on consoles without comprimising the game.

Probably best to wait for an E3 announcement for PS3/X360 of the Witcher 2

This. I would love to get my hands on that game.

Metacritic also thinks the game will release on 360/PS3. I was confused and excited when I saw it because I don't have a proper gaming computer to play it on. I'll definitely buy it if it releases on the 360.  

The only reason I haven't bought it on my pc yet, is because my current rig can't really handle it.  I'd like to see what it looks like on the 360, but if it doesn't come across as a pretty much exact port - I'll hold off till I upgrade my PC.

This the only PC exclusive game I want for 2011 outside of Diablo 3 (which is out at the end of this year or 2012, who knows which) so I sure hope so.

The devs originally announced it for PS360 as well, but put the port on indefinite hold, saying they were worsening the game by trying to make it for 3 platforms at once. They said they may make a console version some day, but they had literally put a complete halt on its development for now.

So what this means is: This is wrong, but it may still happen, just not for a long time (over a year).

They'll have to do a whole lot of optimizing. It only runs at 20-30fps at 720p on low settings on my pc, while portal 2 runs at 30 to 60 fps at 1080p with everything on max. Plus it uses 1.5 gb of main memory and over 512mb of video memory. Not to mention the tiny font all through the game. I have to lean in to the monitor to be able to read the fine print.

It would be nice though, 3rd person games work better with a controller. The movement is the biggest problem with the game as it is now, very clunky with the keyboard. And even with a controller it seems you're restricted to moving in 45 degree angles, mapped to keyboard directions. Sometimes I feel like a pinpong ball moving through the tight corridors. Stopping at the exact right place if front of things is often a fiddly affair.

Maybe on nextbox or cafe? I would buy it again, this game needs surround sound, my dumbass pc only supports 2 channel audio over HDMI and optical digital :( The game does not support DTS or dolby digital. Surround sound seems to be broken at this time anyway, only environmental effects seem to be coming from the rear speakers, everything else only pans from front left to front right.

Half a year or more of polish and the game would be a 10 instead of a great 9.

Sounds like your PC is pretty out of date if you're only getting 30fps in Portal 2. Also I'm sure it woudn't be about optimizing as much as simply downscaling. Obviously consoles are nowhere near current PCs (a good two generations behind in graphics cards and processors). That doesn't mean you can't make a game that looks amazing on PCs, but still good on consoles (Crysis 2, Battlefield 3).

Mind you even with the obvious downgrades on consoles, Crysis 2 isn't nearly as technically impressive as Warhead or the original Crysis, so when you try to make a PC game in conjunction with consoles you likely hurt the PC end product. This is why CD Projekt put a halt on console Witcher 2 development. Better to try to port it after the fact.

PS: Don't expect next generation consoles to be much more powerful than current ones. PCs have grown massively over the last 5 years, but they've done so by making everything bigger, hotter, and with more power consumption. No one will buy a console the size of a PC tower, and cooling tech has not advanced all that fast. My budget build PC (built for under $500 last week) is much stronger than what is even possible in a console with current technology, due to size, power consumption, and fan requirements.
