Forums - Sales - Reasons for the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for PS4 out selling 95% of the Wii U library

Because Nintendo suuuuucks boooooo!

And Sony ruuuulez! Yeah!

I hope that those two reasons are enough.



Around the Network

Who would say this game was going to get so overhyped.

I could count with my hands the numbers of friends who actually played The Witcher 2. I mean, it actually sold less than the first Bayonetta, despite being on the PC (sometimes for 10 bucks on steam).

Not saying the game is bad, but the new gen drought is helping this one...

I can see it outselling most of the third party games but not most of the first parties... I always thought of the Witcher franchise as a PC franchise rather than a console franchise... So although it will probably out sell most wiiU third parties, I highly doubt the ps4 version alone will outsell most of the first party. I will be picking up witcher 3 and whether or not I will have a ps4 by that time, it will be for PC

But we will see, lots of third party games do sell well on the ps4 so maybe

technically speaking, any game that can push up to 5M sales on the PS4 would have outsold any nintendo wiiU 1st or 3rd party game. Its not even a quality thing, its just a numbers thing. If around the time the witcher 3 is released for the PS4, there are 20M PS4s (cause i expect it to be released around fall 2015) in the market, that just means there are more people for the game to sell to. So if it sells through to around 30% of the PS4 instal base, around 6.5M in sales. Any nintendo first party game will basically need to be selling through to around 65-75% of an estimated 2015 install base of around 10M.

So he is right, though not for the reasons in his post.



Your intentions with this thread are more than apparent, train wreck.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Witcher 3 will be awesome, but it's mainly advertised as a XO game. I hope MS doesn't manage to secure any exclusive content, cause it may hurt the sales.

When judging CD Projekt RED don't forget that they own GOG.com, so they get additional money from the service to finance the development of their games.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
