Witcher 2 is really a great game and looks like it was mostly shunned by the media, which is a shame. They'll probably drool over it once it releases for 360.

Depends on how much Microsoft advertizes it. Alan Wake didn't get the sales it deserved, nor the media attention. So it could go either way. I doubt it will remain 360 exclusive anyway, likely a timed release or not exclusive at all like Crysis 2, Dead Island, and Prey 2 turned out to be

Witcher 2 has already proven itself though, so I expect nothing less than stellar reviews for it. It's an excellent game. Alan Wake had too much hype to live up to, and took far too long to develop.

I don't really pay attention to hype, it makes you buy games which are just name brands. I look at reviews and if they are good, even if just on one site, I play the game. Before I did this I missed out on a lot of great games like Chrono Trigger, Pikmin, Too Human, Fire Emblem, and well most niche JRPG's.

Anyway... you make a good point, it will get great scores, but sales are by no means garenteed to be good. I expect only about 1 million sales per console (it will come to PS3), it won't even compare saleswise to Skyrim. I say 1 million because that's about how well Crysis did, and that was a well reviewed PC sequal.
