45k W1 in Americas for The Witcher 2? You people make me sick.

And probably another 200-300k for digital sales.

WW maybe but not in America

Really? I would have thought a game like this would do roughly 400-500k WW.

Actually it probably did. The sales in EU were over 200k. Also that was just physical copys. Almost everyone I know who wants the game either bought it from GOG or Steam.

Nice! I would say thats a pretty good opening for that game then.

Very good week! Excellent Wii, very good the others except DS and 3DS. Excellent SW, but America should show The Witcher 2 some more love.

What kind of increase were people expecting for Wii? It's had no decent software for months, the successor has just been announced and it is outside of the holidays - the price cut was only going to give a modest increase at this time of year.


i guess some people were expecting something like mentioned here.

400k WW yeah but with both digital and retail sales.
What's the share between digital and retail for PC games at the moment ? 55/45 ? Something like that. With a 45k W1 opening in the Americas, there's no way that digital sales for the same market went beyond 100k in the same week.

Meh didn't notice that other people already took over the issue.

portal 2 is proof that these types of games should not be pc only, in fact i belive all pc games should have console ports
