It sure might look like this from western perspective but the risk was far smaller than they like to say. You have to realize that PC is dominant platform in Poland and Russia and Sapkowski books are quite big in Russia and absolutly huge in Poland (bigger than Tolkien probably). The WItcher sales in Poland are bigger than CoD series combined :D
Now i wonder if with TW2 release it will push TW1 over 2 milions sales as the more 1,5M has been spoken for really long time now. |
I don't think they believe it so much as they say it as an insider joke because that is what many people were saying at the time. I mean claims of the PC platform dieing aren't exactly uncommon. And you have to remember when the witcher came out Dragon age hadn't, and the witcher came at a time when WRPGs were just coming back into fashion, and there weren't many successful story driven WRPGs on PC, the closest things were Oblivion, gothic 3 and if you go back a bit KotoR. So at the time the genre was seen by many to be dieing especially on the PC. Of course since then the genre has seen somewhat of a resurgence.
