Four Million Copies of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Sold
Gamers have bought four millions copies of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt since its release two weeks ago. The three years of financial outlays paid off on the day of the game's premiere.
“We’re more than happy about sales of The Witcher 3, which have already surpassed all our expectations. On the day of the premiere alone all our production expenses were paid off.”
– says Adam Kicinski, the CEO of CD PROJEKT.
The newest game from CD PROJEKT has had a very positive reception, not just from gamers, but also from the media. The Witcher 3 has achieved an average rating of above 90% on Metacritic (a review aggregator) for all platforms.
“The "sell-through" rate, that is, the percentage of units sold to end-users during a period, is very important as it is a sign of the power and popularity of The Witcher. Whereas we must keep in mind that our income is generated by sales to stores and chain stores, that is, ‘sell-in’, which is traditionally higher than the sell-through rate. Complete sales data for the end of June drawn up from license reports by our global partners will be announced with the performance for the first half of 2015 by the end of August.”
– adds Kicinski.
From the beginning The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has held the top places in sales rankings of many retailers, such as Steam, GOG.com, Amazon. According to Sony, the game was also the best selling game on the PlayStation Network in May, and it has been the best-selling game in the UK according to GfK.
