Witcher 2 flops on consoles

The games been out for a year already on PC for $40. You expect a lot of people to buy it for $60 a year late?

Pray_to_me

Why not? Maybe they dont have a gaming PC.

Lets see here

1 It was a year old game

2 The first game was never released on a console(recaps don't help much)

3 Most people who wanted the game just bought it for the pc.

4 60 dollar price tag

Honestly I would of been shocked if it done well.

Vgchartz? Lolno.

lems only buy shooters and kinect. The Journey devs warned it, if they want to sell new non-traditional experiences for consoles try the PS3, the 360 audience isn't up for it. Do you think a game like Demon's Souls would've survived on the 360, unknown, with no advertisement and with deep gameplay? no way. kuraimen

If generalizations and stereotypes are your only argument, you have no argument.

This is like the anti-anti-piracy game.

Xbox 360 version Dark Edition Sells out in the UK is bad ???

April Xbox 360 sales Witcher 2 at number 6 bad ???

Xbox 360 Witcher 2 Number 1 on UK charts bad ???

AAA PC/360 game PS3 no gets ???

Sounding like ....

JELLY !!!

Maybe it's just me. But, I'm starting to see a glut of RPGs. RPGs also take a while to finish. So, sales may be spread out over a longer period of time.

Who cares, It's one of my all time favourite games and I will be playing it for years to come. The only thing that sells well on consoles are FPS and sports games anyway.

...and Skyrim, and Mass Effect, and Trials Evolution, and Minecraft...

Anyway, what exactly do PS3 owner buy other than Call of Dutty?

Yes please.

Make sure you include 360 and PS3 best selling games. It will be fun :)

I don't know why, but apparently we are all just supposed to laugh at using VG chartz.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the site, but it does seem pretty silly. Like who honestly cares about game sales?

And there is no way W2 sold less on consoles, 360 owners have no other games to buy so they have to buy W2. And console games always out sell PC games, it's a bigger market and is where the money is at. Most PC games get pirated, I don't know why devs even bother with it anymore.

Especially considering PS3 has the power to match PC games, like UC and GOW and KZ ect....all match (or better in some areas) many high end PC games like W2 or Crysis ect...Devs should just make games for PS3 and just forget about Xbox. They would look SO much better. Xbox is holding PS3 back.

And console games always out sell PC games.

Only when the game is meant for casuals.

Back this up. I expect every console game to be shown outselling every PC game. You know, because you said "always".

That means you too, there is no such thing as a hardcore gamer. Only a douch loser thinks they are "hardcore", get a life yo. There are only gamers and gaming is just a hobby.

Guess your just upset that W2 looks great on 360 and they got to play it at a much better price and without hassle. Hermits are so over sensitive, they act like their PC rigs are their wives.

But hey,if you see no difference,then I guess those soccer moms who play kinect games are just like all the people who play uncharted 3 on PS3!

No difference at all!Nope sir!:roll:

And wtf do you mean by 'better price'?The game is cheaper on PC. I never had to face any hassles,and idgaf about the people who did.

Gamers are gamers, end of story. Those soccer Kinect moms are gamers just like you and me, just with different tastes. Only people who think they are "hardcore" at games are stupid nerds who are trying to be "cool" by seperating people. Sorry pal there are only gamers end of story.

And btw many people would consider W2 to be a pretty "casual" game, the game consists of rolling around in combat and making 2 deminsional moral system chocies. The game is overatted by Hermits. It's not any where as good as Skyrim, I would take Amalur over W2 any day.

The reason PC games are cheaper is because of Piracey and that's it. Most PC games are heavily pirated, very few people legitamently buy them.

Did pigs evolve wings? Is it snowing in Hell? Did Pachter actually get a prediction right?

I'm... I'm actually agreeing with ShadowMoses :shock:

Lol no just no. Look at crysis or crysis 2. They look way better than any PS3 game. And console games always out sell PC games, really now?

You should try harder. I got TW2 for $30. Its $60 for 360. It also plays and looks better on PC.

Lost a SW bet, this is the punishment. You should try not pre-judging people based on something they may like and try backing up your points with sources.

You'd best get searching for sales numbers :)

Here is proof:

As you can see, minimal differences. And KZ looks better in some areas like the charecter animations.

Any grown man that is into ponies has a mental illness. They are creeps, period.

You shouldn't gamble in the future, and I'm not going to waste my time finding sales numbers, it's just obvious. How many copies did COD sell on consoles? Millions! Now how many copies did it sell on PC? Probably just in the hundreds, because the rest got pirated. That is why PC games are cheaper, piracey issues.

Anyone who is creeped out by someone else enjoying a cartoon show has mental issues. It was part of a bet, he wasn't doing it willingly.

You're not gonna waste time finding facts for your claims?

What assertions? Why don't you prove to me that PC games out sell console games. Because the only source I can find is VG Chartz which everyone laughs at on here. Common sense would tell you consoles sell more games than PC does, that's why Devs are abandoning PC and going with consoles, they want to feed their families like everyone else, if they stick with just PC they would be out of work fast. Mainly due to Priacey and expensive upgrading costs.

Plus as I already proved, the PS3 is powerful enough to rival PC so devs should just go to that only.

lol @ at the few delusional lems who thought it would be popular on consoles.

And console games always out sell PC games

ShadowMoses900

Outside a legal context, "burden of proof" means that someone suggesting a new theory or stating a claim must provide evidence to support it: it is not sufficient to say "you can't disprove this". Specifically, when anyone is making a bold claim, it is not someone else's responsibility to disprove the claim, but is rather the person's responsibility who is making the bold claim to prove it.

Ok I admit I can't prove it. But I shouldn't have to, it's just common sense. So you win this time again. But I'm gonna get you one day.

Lol at people who game and play sales than the games...
So sad what some so called "gamers" can be like.

Anyone who has actually seen Killzone 3 on PS3 and Crysis 2 on PC knows you are wrong.

You play both games on a big screen, not in a tiny window for starters.

It's OK to have preferences for video games, but not for TV shows? Care to explain how Sesame Street Kinect is different from MLP? Am I sensing a bit of hypocrisy (well, not exactly a bit, more like a f***ton)?

It's only been a couple of weeks. Plus, I can't be the only one waiting to pick it up when it hits the bargain bin.

The bargain bin!?!?!?! It's The Witcher 2! :P

Every game makes its way there eventually. New games have been dropping quickly to $40 these days, it's still just a port, I already have it on Steam. Makes little sense for me to pick it up for anything over 20.

[QUOTE="Nanomage"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] Actually its one person Loosingends...WilliamRLBaker

okay let me rephrase, No one seriously said that except loosingends, My statements were only to piss off pirates...I mean hermtis whom went out of their way to actually say a game was crap because it was had been released on the 360.

You sure seem to get a kick out of calling pc gamers pirates.

I think thou doth protest too much.

It all makes sense now...
