Witcher 3 sells over 20 million copies in 4 years

>70% of the sales of Witcher 3 were from consoles

Really makes you think how badly PC was holding CDPR back.

>Witcher 3 only sells $250 million in a year and a half

>Witcher 3 approaching 30 million sales in 4 years
pcgamesn.com/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/the-witcher-sales-figures-profit

what the fuck is your point? see

30 million or 20? which is it?

The point is they were either selling their games a 50% off or MORE if you account for DLC at release in order for the 8.5 million sales in a year and a half to equal 250 million dollars.

soviet block dev probably has secret communist distribution channels for the poor and needy

Thar's probably the case. I see Witcher games on sale all the time.

Was Witcher 3 $30 at release?

it's been dirt cheap for years now, and key resellers are a thing
you're sperging out over absolutely nothing

>pcgamer

die, cuck

But I'm explicitly talking about release prices. They weren't having 50% off sales a weeks after release.

strange fixation on the well being of a company and how much money they make.
you have something you're not telling us?

it's 20.
op appears to have pulled the 30 mill quote out of his ass. the article only mentions 25 mil cumulative witcher series sales.

post the math you're using to reach the $30 at release conclusion
you need to PROVE what you're saying

I think OP lacks reading comprehension and doesnt know difference between revenue and profit.

I said approaching 30 million you mong, which is what the article says

nigger it says the TRILOGY is at 25
holy fuck you're retarded

>cumulative witcher series sales

They sold 6 million in the first year, if they've sold 20 million copies in 4 years that means they've had to have sold 5 million copies a year at least. So at a year and a half that's 8.5 million copies at least, divide 250 million by 8.5 million and you get $34 with no DLC or auxiliary sales.

First it's not $ but PLN.
Second it's profit, not income.
Learn to read you braindead caveman

No, apparently witchers cumulative sales are over 40 million, figure that one out

you might be legitimately retarded, I'm serious

You're so fucking dumb it literally hurts me

>They sold 6 million in the first year,
Why aren't you counting in regional prices?

Yes PLN is worth 25% of a dollar, kill yourself.

It's almost as if some time passed between the two articles
Who would've thought that the passage of time alters things like sale stats

okay, it still says that Witcher 3 is only over 20

wow they sold more copies in the 2.5 years that have passed b/w those two articles.

You've been obsessing all day about this now and it's not getting less stupid.

Oh so now witcher 1 and 2 has sold 20 million copies?

They are a public company. They cannot lie about sales unless they want their shareholders to sue the ever living shit out of them.

honestly feel bad for OP

I don't fucking know, I'm quoting the fucking article YOU posted
fucking retard

Holy shit you're a functional analphabet
You read something and don't understand the meaning
PROFIT you ignorant brainlet motherfucker, 250 mil PLN of PROFIT, it's not the sales net total, it's the cash they have in their bank after accounting for taxes, distribution costs, marketing, salary and so on

So they spent 100,000,000+ on marketing and salary?

EA lied about sales expectations and somehow investors believed them ? man those guys must be stupid as shit
You can't lie about actual sales because a large part of those go through retailers (gamestop, steam and shit) and they publish their own numbers

What's wrong with 3 consoles making up 70% of sales?

sales EXPECTATIONS

Nice graph, why aren't there any labels

You must be a sad faggot to argue semantics. BF4 was released 6 years ago and EA's just now getting sued for it.

>semantics
actual sales and sales expectations are not the same thing you dumb moron

yeah, because actual sales were bellow expectations you dumb fuck

TW3 has been on sale for 75% off all the fucking time be it gog or steam
OP you need to get some fucking mental help, this is just another of the hundred or so threads you've made over the years crying about CDPR and witcher games

Impressive. I don't think Cyberpunk has any chance to do as good, the genre is just too overcrowded and the game does nothing new.

Ew, go take a shower

CDPR is living rent free in your head. stay obsessed

Witcher 3 was 75% off at release?

amazing, trully amazing

What causes a man to become so obsessed with a company, of all things?

And they make a TV series not about it but the book!

why are you so obsessed with this "at release" shit? what the fuck are you even talking about?

Wait a minute, are you shitposting and not even bothering to read the thread?

what is this retard talking about
why does he hate CDPR this much

no, why are you asking that you fucking retard? this whole nigger faggot thread is about the lifetime sales fucking blow your brains out

a mod outted him a while ago
he's EXTREMELY autistic, if that wasn't apparent already

I did read it you retard, nowhere does it say that it sold 20 million copies at release
also, you're not taking regional pricing and key resellers into account
he's a legitimate downie

>I did read the thread
Oh that explains it

I bought it. But I didnt get very far. the writing, the setting, the VAs, the character design are all very nice, but the gameplay was just dreadful.

>no argument
as expected

Don't mind, I'm posting the version that will sell another 20 million copies

Attached: 51CFCL4DvFL._AC_SY400_.jpg (247x400, 28K)

The fact that there's people in here lying about what revenue means is evidence enough for me that nobody can explain this and would rather not worry about it.

explain fucking what? YOU'RE the one making a claim, so fucking back it up

yeah the cyperpunk RPG genre is so much more competitive than the fantasy RPG genre

How CDPR can stay afloat selling their game 50% off at release

I’m sorry what’s the point here? That a massively successful game was slightly less massively successful?

WHY are you saying it's 50% off at release? are you demented?

CDPR got lucky as fuck releasing after Skyrim and the death of Dragon age

Because in order for sales to reach their released revenue from the game they would have had to sell all copies 50% off at release, meaning they lied about sales

are there even 20 million switch users?

this man is killing himself for our enjoyment. g-d bless him

then fucking prove it

What do skyrim and dragon age have to do with witcher sales? People aren't tied to a single company, they can buy games by different developers

I liked the second one but honestly the third one really looks soulless

Prove what? It's all here in the thread, what exactly do you need proven?

so no proof, got it

Your retarded conjecture isn't proof.

>People aren't tied to a single company

The PS4 alone sold more copies than PC.

>they would have had to sell all copies 50% off at release
Please show me your math on that claim

Alright, you call up CDPR and ask them to give you a complete detailed report of their inner workings, I'll wait.

you fucking do it, you made the claim

Wow that's crazy, that's the thing I used for the source of OP. NO WAY!

I'm not reading your fucking article, give the quotation that seems at odds with the statement about the 20 million sales.

and you still can't prove what you're saying

And how does your retarded OP prove that they're lying about sales numbers?

Kill yourself

>Because in order for sales to reach their released revenue from the game they would have had to sell all copies 50% off at release, meaning they lied about sales

kek, keep seething

Reminder Sapkowski sued CDPR for royalty money because the games sold so well and he took a lump sum in exchange for the rights in the first place

Guy is a big piece of shit and the books aren't that good, CDPR literally made him famous.

How are your autistic guesses proofs?

you're unbelievably retarded

Huh, maybe Sapkowski is the one who keeps shitposting about cdpr all day

you realise that unless the game sells through GOG, CDPR isn't going to see the full $60 per copy right?

You realize Marcin Iwinski said they sold 6 million copies in 6 weeks right?

source?
OP, just give up. you've been getting btfo for an entire thread now, you're a laughingstock

what is your point? what does that have to do with anything?

Nigger you still haven't posted any proof about fake sales numbers so either put up or stfu. Idgaf about who said what.

>trying to change the subject this desperately
obsessed

That means they sold over 10 million copies in a year and a half

and what's your fucking point? AAA games always sell best during the first period
seriously, what is wrong with with you?

Where's the proof about fake numbers?

So if they sold 10 million copies and only made 250 million dollars, that means they sold each copy for $25 at release

not in total
knowing that most sales on pc are digital, especially from gog itself, that should close the gap when it comes how profitable each platform is

I cannot comprehend how retarded you are, it's unreal. your small brain just doesn't work
this explains it perfectly

What's even more retarded is CDPR's claim for 6 million copies in 6 weeks when they barely made 250 million in a year and a half

They're running a company, dummy. Including a game distribution service (GOG) and making another game on top of it.
You think electricity is free, retard?

why? what's your logic? that's the profit after
>taxes
>distribution
>salaries
>marketing
and so on

Revenue is pre-production costs you sub 70 IQ retards

I'm sure they lied in plain sight so that a brainlet like you could catch them, OP. You've got it all figured out!

Attached: wwwwwwww.png (640x480, 338K)

holy shit you stupid retard we're talking PROFIT, stop making strawmen

Got any proof of that?

No we're talking about revenue, 250 million dollars of revenue in 1.5 years. Meaning
>in order for sales to reach their released revenue from the game they would have had to sell all copies 50% off at release, meaning they lied about sales

It means they earned $25 on each copy sold, on average. But you're so retarded you actually think developers / publishers get $60 for each copy sold.

I'm sorry, there's no other way to break this to you: you're retarded. In fact, you're so retarded it should be illegal. You should have been aborted in the womb. Your very existence lowers the average IQ by ten points.

no you retard, they profited $250 million. holy shit you're retarded

it says PLN you stupid fucking retard, not $
you're unreal
it's 1 BILLION PLN in revenue, and 250 PLN in net PROFIT

Man that's weird, what distributor takes 60% of the revenue? They should have sold their games on Steam.

Guys calm down i think i figured it out. OP doesn't know what average means. That's why he's sperging like a clown

>60%
what the fuck are you talking about? see

I guess taking 60% of the revenue is average now, ok boys, pack it up. CDPR was only getting $25 for every copy sold

>he's still going
you've been proven wrong and destroyed

You're a special one, aren't you, kid?

I feel bad for OP's parents, I can't imagine having to put up with him every day his mother must be a saint

skyrim most definitely brought more people into the genre

OP you won't get your career as an accountant or some financial fraud investigator so give it up

Proven wrong how? You've just been posting "Nuh uh" for 2 and a half hours.

What is? Because Witcher 3 is objectively the best game of all time, everyone says so and they are right. Will you be a contrarian in an extremely small minority largely consisting of only you?

>Generating more money than budget of small country
yikes!

>$150,000,000
>more than a small country
???

>he's still going
I feel so sorry for you

I just pop in every now and again to see if you guys have an argument.

add one zero faggot.

How have they made 1.5 billion when they're only making 150 million a year?

It was in Poland.

Sauce?

Fucking beans compardd to the underage gambling ring disguised as video games EA and Activision runs

nah, you're completely obsessed and delusional
you've been going on about 250 million dollars, not PLN. see

I wonder if the Polish government has anything to do with it. Apparently Witcher 3 is some sort of cultural icon over there

Bullshit, witcher 3 costed around 80 million $ and they got their money back first 2 weeks after premiere.

But then the question is, how did they make 550 million dollars in the first year when they said it took them a year and a half to make 250

meant for

CDPR is gonna be one of the only devs left standing if microtransactions in digital goods get outlawed. Would be a catastrophe

Well if they're government funded they're not much better

Maybe you are mixing up revenues with profit?

Nope

So what is profit then and what is revenue?

They have never released their profits, only revenue. So I don't know why you think that's an argument.

They actually did released both, for each year and each quarter. Together with their whole expense sheet. They are public company.

Oh, so how do you think I can get them mixed up when their profits are less than 10% of their revenue?

Dunno maybe you are retarded.

Says the person who thinks 250 million is the same as 20 million

No one

I'd say quite a few people care

They released one decent game and now they're the saviors of the industry?

Why is this guy so mad that a European game is the best modern rpg.

They have no shareholders because they have no shares.

So that means they can lie about sales with no repercussions.

You're literally retarded OP. Did you take into account the fact that MS/Sony/Valve all take a cut and on top of that the game's 4 years old and went on sale many many times?

It wasn't on sale until halfway through 2016

or maybe he just married when he was doing Witcher 1
