Probably more on GoG and keysales and retail.

So PC is probably the best plattform for The Witcher 3 worldwide.

You need to look only UK steam sales and retail is always bad on PC.

For a game like The Witcher 3 only 460k WW in Steam is pretty average... Dark Souls II did 1 million in steam at debut.

And the last sentence there is no way to know that... you need to add digital sales for consoles too and there is a lot of variables like PS4 probable sold over 1 million WW.

Seems kinda ridiculous that PS4 was allowed to have Witcher 3 bundled at some retailers but oh well.

And the 10% digital discount is what made me skip physical anyways.

Not really, the same thing happened w/ MS and Destiny.  Only official bundles, are verboten, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and I don't even think the devs can do anything about what a retail store bundles together.

Sony is not allowed because the market deal but retailers can do their own bundles... just remember the retailers bundles are probable the PS4 with the game sold together with a little discount ($10).

The Witcher 3 is a game marketed like "Xbox One only"... it was confirmed by CDPR because the close relationship with MS with the previous games.

It is like the Destiny deal with PS4... the different was MS choose to make a normal bundle instead a different one (or course retailers can do non-official bundles like the PS4 BB + Witcher 3 or the Xbone Destiny).

Except it wasn't.

If Microsoft actually paid for a marketing deal then they either paid much less than they should have or are simply stupid. There just wasn't much in the way of marketing it for Xbox. The PS4 version got all the attention, all the deals and all the bundles.

The only TV spot I saw here in germany only mentioned the X1 and the X1 had the official Witcher 3 bundle as well.

How many times did you actually see it advertised for Xbox though. MS have been piss poor with actually marketing the games they get deals for so far in Europe, and to me it seems The Witcher 3 was just another example of that.

Like I said, once. I don't watch TV, I just saw the spot in a fast food place while getting something to eat. :D

Thats...exactly what I said :D

I can't speak for the UK, but I saw a tremendous amount of advertisement for it in the US, even to the point where my ISP streaming service had embedded ads.



Bloodborne just outside the top 10 in combined formats.

It is... MS have the market deal with The Witcher 3... that is why the Exclusive Limited Edition only exists for Xbone and the official bundle is with Xbone too.

The PS4 version got all attention like the CoD: Ghost because it was the version ahead in development... so the most stable and ready to be showed... that is why the videos and reviews are on PS4... samething happened with CoD: Ghost.

Edit - MS was showed PC version on their videos most of times because the Xbone version was not ready to be showed for some time.
