Sadly, this will impact Spike Chunsoft in Japan - seems like they invested a lot into pushing the game this fall, hopefully when they fix it, it gets a resurgence. Honestly as a fan of CD Projekt, I saw this coming - Witcher 3 launch on the PS4/X1 was also kinda botched. Its definitely a boneheaded move not to delay it into next year and the executive team need to be accountable for it.
It was actually their biggest launch ever in Japan, beating Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains which had a 89.448 launch and 401.513 lifetime. Witcher 3 is their second best selling game in Japan with 195.894 on the PS4, so I can understand Spike Chunsoft's desire to get the game launched but they would have been in a far better position had it been delayed into next year.
