Most probably because the original plan for the game development also had the possibility of a console port(as in a port to console). It may even now, but I think it is improbable.
Besides, It looks very good as it is.

Yep, the devs went to great lengths to state and re-state they built their engine to be multiplatform. It doesn't guarantee that The Witcher 2 is coming to consoles, but on the other hand they were always clear a console version would not make launch.
"CD Projekt invented a whole new engine for The Witcher 2. ...What's more is that - from the very beginning - the developers took into account that the game would run on each of the three most important platforms, which are PC, Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. For each one, there already exists a prototype. At the moment, The Witcher 2 is still DirectX 9 only.
"Yes. I can even tell you more. We already have performed a lot of tests. We're doing a reality check every half a year or so. We take a level from the game and we try to put it inside our engine, because it's console-capable on Xbox 360 and PS3."
