Witcher 2 on 360 was a flop commercially

It hasn't even sold 500k units, this should be ported to the PS3 without the screen tearing and other glitches that plagued the 360. It's obvious the screen tearing detracted from the sales, PS3 could run the game so much cleaner. Kinda like Prototype 2, a mess on 360 while it's nice and clean and V SYNCED on PS3.

Where did you get your sales figures?

Seriously best thread in years. I agree completely TC

Did you get your figures from VG chartz?

The surest sign of desperation is when sales figures are collected before the game has even been out a full month.

And just where are you getting these screen tearing and other bugs from? Any proof perchance?

Better hope it sells well if you ever want it on PS3

Uhm screentearingon the console version is readily apparent. Just chekc out any live feed.

MOST console games suffer from it because that hardware isn't up to the task of vsyncing except in either not graphically impressive titles, or the very few that have very experienced engineers optimize the hell out of the engine.

Since when is selling 500k in a month considered a flop? Considering this was a port of a year old game whose predecessor was not even on consoles. I know its VG Chartz numbers but saying 500k is bad is not true at all

It sold 2 million copie son PC. 30% of which were digital, so the equivalent console retail sales are about 2.6 million.

Of a hardcore RPG from an small Eastern European developer in a single year. That's more than somehting like Demon Souls, except it cost a fraciton of what it cost to develop and market that game.

360 fans do the sales thing a week after every big PS3 exclusive. If you didn't know it has screen tearing then that's your problem because it most certainly does.

I'm curious. What was the top-selling RPG on the PS3 last year and how does it compare to sales of TW2 on the 360?

WTF it has anything on Demon's soul the GOTY 2009, sold 1.6 million(more than those 2 trash games combined) whether you are talking about review score, megacities, sales, players' reception etc etc etc. RPG god Demon's soul had his ass all over on TW1.2.3.4+++ infinity

hell even TW2 developers shameless admitted they tried to copy demon's souls(except not 0.00001% as good)

Another game on 360 that has rampant screen tearing. Moron, PS3 version is vsynced while 360 can't even keep a single clean frame. Differences in framerate are like one or two frame drops so that's meaningless.

stop bring the god game's name next to this turd TW2 to make up your inferior complex,

Its funny to see people state someone's personal estimate of pirated copies as a fact ,and also he says 1 of 5 ratio between bought and pirated is still pretty good. As of December of 2011 TW2 sold more then 500,000 copies digitally, and has sold nearly 1 million retail copies. And then The 1st witcher in 2011 sold more then 400k units and lets add up the previous 3 years hmm? its well above 2 million just for TW . Your fact about TW1 and TW2 only selling 1.5 million is just for the year on 2011 you need to learn to read better.
