CD Projekt RED's latest financial report reveals that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt had a £53 million budget and that it sold over 6 million units (the exact total is 6,014,576 units) in the first six weeks following its launch.

The report also notes that 1 million of that 6 million total were activated through CD Projekt's own GOG storefront. CD Projekt RED posted net profits of £41 million for the first half of 2015.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One back in May.

Edit: in numbers:
Best selling game on the PS3 and PS4. Second best selling game on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

And don't say it's a "multiplayer" game. It has multiplayer, yes, but the focus is entirely on the single player.

Didn't you know? Rockstar is going to be screwed if they'll continue making GTA games!

Skyrim sold over 20 million. Uncharted sells ~6 million each iteration. Fallout 4 will sell a crap ton, Mass Effect Andromeda will sell a crapton, Watch Dogs was a huge success, Far Cry 4 sold very well, The Witcher 3 sold great, MGS V is gonna be a multimillion seller etc. Not to mention GTA....

Lol at people naming witcher 3 or batman. Look at Titan Fall. A new ip that sold over 5 million and more than witcher 3/batman. Also, it wasn't on the ps4 like these other games. I guarantee you publishers are seeing this. Takes less effort to make these games with a better reward. Only very few single player games are doing well, but they cost a lot more money and time. Look how long it takes GTA5 to be made or Fallout/MGS.


A new IP that was hyped up the dick that no really plays anymore.

2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

You must mean fps' must focus on online or shooters. Because no not every game needs an online component, there are people who don't play or don't like online shooters.

But as everyone said, witcher, Arkham knight, watch dogs, fallout 4, elder scrolls shadow of mordor etc all say hi

i'll just say there are games that were more focused on multiplayer modes than their single player campaign modes. which the reviewers should base it more into the multiplayer mode. maybe 65/35 or 60/40.
but there would always be a market for single player games like what others have mentioned here.

How about we let Call of Duty do Call of Duty and let other publishers tap into whatever market they wish.

Sweet Jesus that OP..."Hey everyone! Only make games in the most popular styles and genres!" ugh, that frame of mind is bad for gaming. It hurts.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
