For a game with a budget of 15 million, you bet your ass 7-8 million will make them happy.

I hope it means they'll up their stakes and Cyberpunk 2077 won't take another 4 years of development.

Nah, they seem content on taking their time and not going over budget.

Awesome news! 10 million lifetime would be cool but that might be a tall order...

I'm hoping for at least 6-7 million across all platforms, to make CDProjekt a huge amount of money to keep up their astounding work.

Well, I doubt it will sell anywhere near as well as Skyrim (20m+), since Skyrim was more casual friendly than Witcher 3. However Witcher 3 is getting reviews that are nearly as good as Skyrim's, and the preorder numbers certainly aren't bad, they suggest that Witcher 3 will sell around 7-8 million lifetime.

For a game with a budget of 15 million, you bet your ass 7-8 million will make them happy.

Any source of that?

Pretty impressive if this is what they made with such a small budget. I'll probably buy it in 2016 when I get a PS4.

In terms of sales? Probably not, but in my opinion Witcher 2 was better than Skyrim. It did what it wanted to well rather than dumping the player in a massive yet relatively mediocre world. Hopefully W3 stays true to its roots.
