Forums - Sales Discussion - Witcher 3 has sold 15 million units

So we know that Witcher series has sold 25 million units in 2017. In 2016 the series had sold 20 million units. Witcher 3 was half of that. By that time Witcher 2 was five years old on PC and four year old on Xbox 360 so it probably had sold most of what it would sell lifetime. Witcher was eight years old so sales would be low after that. It is safe to consider that Witcher 3 has sold 15 million units. Also five million of those sales were in the last seven months which is incredible for a game not made by Rockstar and Nintendo.

Do you think the legs of this game are impressive? Can Horizon have these kind of legs? Also this makes me curious about Bloodborne, another highly rated game in 2015 for which the last sales figures were given in Spetember 2015 when it ha sold 2 million units. Since then we got an expansion and a Game of the Year edition for the game and according to this site Bloodborne is always in the top seventy five best selling game of every week, so it could have sold over 3 million units by now.

Incredible legs. No doubt a huge percentage of them came from heavily discounted sales. Psn has had it cheap loads of times. I'm sure the other platforms have had similar sales.



Games are put up on sale all the time but they don't sell well even then. Wither 3's sales are more due to word of mouth.



Amazing! So happy that this game did so well!
I am sure that we will see The Witcher 4 one day!



Shame single player only games don't sale anymore. :D

I think it's more like 13-14 mln (boost of W1 and W2 sales due to the fact that majority of W3 never played previous games and bought it after liking W3) but what's the difference really?

Yep I bought my copy of 3 along with all the DLC off a PSN Flash Sale.  Just waiting to  finsih BotW before starting on W3.



We'll most definitely get a sequel. I can't wait. Favorite rpg this gen.

They do sell well but only when they are open world games. Linear single player games don't sell well anymore.

Uncharted 4? I mean sure it has a multiplayer mode, but if it didn't I don't think it's sales would be affected that strongly.
