Witcher 2 on 360 was a flop commercially

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="sts106mat"] minecraft 360 made a profit within 1 hour of its release on XBLA though, so it cannot be that hard costly to develop particularly, as in both the Witcher 2 and Minecraft cases, they were porting from the PC.sts106mat

...Its not like a sales to piracy ratio matters anyway.Pirates gonna pirate no matter what happens.

[QUOTE="001011000101101"]300k seems pretty good for a niche RPG that's only been out for a few weeks. DragonfireXZ95

[QUOTE="sts106mat"][QUOTE="delta3074"]which developers have stated many times requires very little work, witcher 2 took 100 employees 11 months to port to the 360.call_of_duty_10

...Its not like a sales to piracy ratio matters anyway.Pirates gonna pirate no matter what happens.

a commercial flop that managed to top charts in one of the bigger markets of the EU on consoles? m'kay lets actually wait for CD Projekt's figures or Namco Bandai's.

Let's see, a game with an actual storyline, requiring some thought and investment, flops on 360. Why am I not surprised?

your a flop

Chris_Williams

you guys grack me up, multiplats that do require a bit of thought like Fallout and the elder scrolls perform much better saleswise on the xbox 360 and the Ps3 actually has more exclusive shooters than the 360,loldelta3074

I can beat Skyrim rolling my face on the keyboard ... and the less said about its writing, the better.

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] who would have thought skyrim sold more on 360 then it did on ps3..WilliamRLBaker

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] Who would have thought that it's not exclusive....ShadowsDemon

It could have sold more, if there were enough copies. Im still waiting for the game to get out on my country :?

On the 'it should come to PS3 because it would have no screen tearing'. We all know that the PS3 version would be lucky if it looked and performed as good as 360 one.

From what I have seen of sales figures in the last two months. Nothing has sold well. Game sales have taken a massive dive globally. Why this is? anyone guess, but it is not restricted to Witcher 2. Of course it doesn't help when some UK stores are not even selling it. BibiMaghoo

Im gonna chime in and add to this.I left college a year ago with an HNC which is basicalyl been a wasted year sicne i cant get a job, im stuck in a part time weekend job which i have had since i was at high school and now applying for anything and everything.My current RAF application was just shut down AGAIN due in part to all these cuts.Im stuck in this dead end £120 a week job despite throwing my CV at near enough everyone in the past year.Although i might be getting an appretiship as a Mechanical Fitter through my current work hopefully.

My positions bad but i've got mates in a hell of a lot worse,Cameron doesnt seem to get the fact that spending cash might actually help us instead of going cut crazy.As the old saaying goes you've got to spend money to make money.

But im just one of many thats got a lot of issues.The more the tories balls up the more i feel inclined to vote for independence (im Scottish).

No surprise there, xbox casuals only by the well known franchise games.

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="delta3074"]it's the UK in general, we just entered another reccession and the goverment is taking so much money away from people that we can barely afford the essentials here, bloody Tory goverment, there mantra is that we only need enough money for everyday essentials no matter how hard we work, most people over here are literally working just to live and the goverment has the cheek to tell us we should all work harder, i had to trade in most of my best games just to get the witcher 2.WilliamRLBaker

lol

To many options. But yeah, TW2 deserves more sales.

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] just as bad here for alot of people I've had to ignore achievements and just get through my games as soon as possible and sell em cause I can't afford to have a large backlog and I've not been able to buy any major games as of late cause I need to you know eat...I've actually had to start going to food pantries so I can make food stretch or get it for free so I can actually pay bills.mitu123

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Ouch, and here I am buying all the new games, just purchased the 680 GTX, a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle, a new 23" monitor and a 3DS. lolRyviusARC

[QUOTE="RyviusARC"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Oh very nice, 2GB or 4GB? Congrats either way.

mitu123

Yeah but usually when people future proof they think they will have it for years and then just buy a new better one even when the one they have isn't maxed out. But I know you are reaching limits with your 460s

Of course PS3 has more shooters. It has more everything. 360 have no games

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="RyviusARC"] Benchmarks even at 2560x1600 have shown no improvement in frame rate whether the 2gb or 4gb version were used. And that was with Battlefield 3 and Metro 2033 + many other games. Maybe it would make a difference with a multi monitor setup but most people still play around 1080P.seanmcloughlin

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] Yeah that's true. Though future proofing wouldn't hurt incase you go that route.=p Plus unlike most I game above 1080p.

You know from what I played the game seems to be very overrated by Hermits, combat is just consistin of rolling around a lot and so far the moral choices just consist of "do you kill him or do you kill the other guy". It's not very deep.

Still pretty good, I would give it around an 8, but it's not super amazing. Kinda funny how Lems always say "no one buys PS3 games" and yet they didhn't buy W2, how hilarious! Especially considering that God of War, UC, KZ, MGS4, Rachet and Clank, and LBP all sell just as much as Gears.

In fact aside from Halo and Gears, every 360 exclusive doesn't sell at all. So it's the Lems who don't buy their exclusives, probably because most 360 exclusives arn't worth a damn. No wonder MS dumped them and went to Kinect.

Oh well they will still have fun with Halo no doubt, they have to, they have no choice but to enjoy it.

Trust me I suck at the game and I get destroyed if I roll around a lot because in some places enemies try to block me.And those decisions near the end of act 1 are pretty big.

I'm guessing sales only matter when it'll suit you.

I'm guessing you're also jelly that you can't play the game.

I'm not very far in it, I play it at my friends house. It's good but I was expecting a lot more based off of how Hermits hype it. There is no way in hell it's better than Skyrim though, I know they are nothing alike but still, as far as RPG's go Skyrim is the better one.
