We'te talking profitability here, right? Cause CDPR is getting 70% from Steam, 100% from GOG and less than 50% from retail - where majority of console sales are.

less than 50%? besides console royalties(that are 7%) and disc costs(that are 5%) what else are they paying? They are their own publisher!


I can't find right now Pachter's anatomy, but I believe him way more when it comes to this subject - he said that platform royalties are around 20%, so some $12.

my guess:
2m on pc
1.3m on ps4
0.7 m on xbox


quoted 6 times already,.. this is easily the most popular thing i've ever said.  no stealth trolling.  no sarcasm.  no humor.

 

i am disappointed in you guys.



Great sales for a great game.



Please excuse my bad English.

Former gaming PC: i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Current gaming PC: R5-7600, 32GB RAM 6000MT/s (CL30) and a RX 9060XT 16GB

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

XBO version of The Witcher sold under 100k in UK in this two week (around 80k for be correct)... there is no way for be at >1 million globally.

PS4: 2,200,000
PC: 1,000,000
XBO: 800,000

Seem more likely.

At this point I just can't.


loool

A platform breakdown will be very interesting, all that maters is that the game is will probably do 10m LT!!!  I hope CDProjekt expand since they are also a publisher.



I believe GOG sales could be quite big as that was the platform with the largest discounts and the most Witcher fanbase. Additionally, thee has been zero advertising on steam's front page in regards to the Witcher 3 since post launch. I believe sales are like 2 million PS4, 1.2 million PC, 800k XBOX. Out of my real life friends all three of them got it on PS4 and me on PC.



Tottaly undeserved imo

Still the console margin would be something like 55% since CD is their own publisher.

20% for console royalties...we should check this information....

Nothing to check really, it was on one of his Pach-Attacks, long time ago - he knows business side of this indyustry really good, as much as his predictions are (on purpose or not) often wildly inaccurate, he knows money stuff in-depth. Every time that chart I posted above pops up I tend to find that episode, but I don't have patience right now for that...

Totally deserved, IMO, though, as an open-world Euro-RPG fan, I rate it 8.5/10.
