Well, CD Projekt can make a statement like:
"Well, we released this game a year after the other platform's release and it didn't sell as much. This proves that console market is dead, and riddled with piracy."

..and then they'll support PC forever and ever and everyone is happy!

320000 not 320 :) And it sells better than titles released 2011 & 2012 like:

F.E.A.R. 3 - 300000
Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed - 300000
Alice: Madness Returns - 300000
Dungeon Siege III - 250000
The Darkness II - 200000
Street Fighter X Tekken - 190000
Call of Juarez: The Cartel - 150000
Sniper Elite V2 - 140000

I agree it didn't really sell as well as I hoped. Either more console gamers have PCs than I thought or it just didn''t catch on for some reason. Might have been too close to Skyrim and Mass Effect 3, or maybe it just seemed like a complex PC game?

Who knows.

It's bad compared to other RPGs on those systems, yes. Kingdoms of Amalur sold 400,000 in its first few weeks with lower review scores and less hype. Skyrim sold like 5,000,000 or something in a day.

Everything is relative.

You can't compare the Hype of Skyrim with Witcher 2...
And KoA is on 0.56m copies... for 3 months... so basicly W2 can go over this sales ;)
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/46225/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning

and if you look in the numbers closely ...
KoA - 1st week - 300000
W2 - 1st week - 220000

doesn't that prove the point?

KOA was a failure.
so 320 sales is not high. TW2 won't be able to surpass KoA and even if it does, it might not break the 1M barrier. and these days if you do not sell 1M copies of the game of AAA title then you kinda failed. with all those costs (even if CDPR paid less than 38 studio for KOA [which they certainly did])

All of this are AAA and yet TW2 sell more than them in shorter or similar time...

How are other games not selling well proof of anything? I don't understand your retort.

TW2 don't have the same amount of advertisement made... they don't build a big hype for it so yes they sell better then highly advertised games like Darkness 2 ....Street Fighter X Tekken...
