Crysis 2 had a decent marketing push, was an FPS and had the "best looking console game" hype pre launch even if it didn't live up to the hype that pushed the game.
The Witcher 2 will probably get next to no advertising, is a hardcore story focused WRPG and also a very late port. It will be lucky to do 500k LTD. It does have a core following but mainly in Europe where 360 isn't that popular. Similar games would be Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (460k), Dark Souls (0.35) or even Dungeon Siege III (210k) exept none of those were late ports. As for PS3 it's unlikely at this stage that it will be released maybe The Witcher 3 will make it to PS3 but I don't think a PS3 port of a over year old game, it took them more than 6 months to make a 360 port, PS3 would be harder plus they would need to devote resorces to TW3.

Yea so even 1 million will be hard. My point was the game won't do too well.
However I think there is a decent hardcore following in Americas....they just own the game for PC. lol. Hope it breaks 500k.

Considering that the PC version already turned a profit anything over 200k would be considered a success for CDP Red I would think. The game only cost $8 million to make so porting it and a little marketing probably would cost ~$1 million.
