definitely, but a The Witcher 3 would also bump the sales of The Witcher. But both those sequels aren't even announced and are years away, so let's ignore them for now.
The Witcher 2 is coming not far, so we can count on the bump it'll give.
| Slimebeast said: I believe The Witcher 1.6 million lifetime. Mass Effect will have great legs and sell 2.5 million for the X360 version alone. Also remember that most copies of Mass Effect are sold at $40-$60 while The Witcher sold most of it's copies for less than $10 in the Eastern Bloc and on Steam. |
You think the witcher will only sell 100k more? Why would it stop so suddenly? This is a PC game, which usually sell for ages (especially great games).
With the amount of used copies of ME in stores, you can't really expect it to sell much more. As for revenue, it's different because then we'd also have to see the profit of each game and it's pure specualtion at best. The Witcher was also cheaper to make, almost no money spent of marketing, didn't have to pay fees to Microsoft, and a sizeable chunk came from DD sales (higher profit margin).
