better read that article before posting wrong data.

 

[J_C]

63+32+5 to be precise.

 

[Cadmus]

that's looking bad for the PC masterrace that keeps complaining about the downgrade

 

[Makabb]

No wonder witcher 3 was not a PC priority.

 

[J_C]

Keep in mind that those are just the retail sales. I doubt many people buy physical disks on the PC anymore. The digital sales are probably much better.

old people do.

It's unbelievable for me how people like to cripple themselves...

yeah unbelievable ...
except the PS4 version is the same as the PC and PC to run this game costs 2x as much as the shitty PS4.

I always like reading about sales figures that tell me nothing about the actual sales.

Consoles have better optimizations because you don't have OS like windows running on top that eats extra power.

Console power equal times four = PC

It has always been like this, just look at PS 2 and PS 3 era. 256mb graphics card in ps3 and it runs gta 5. You need 4 times more powerfull PC than a console to run same games.

you dont need to tell me, I'm just saying that it's not "crippling onself" to be playing this game on the console

old people do.

Old people should fucking die already.

 

[odrzut]

I really don't care about your petty random PC vs pre-built PC (known as consoles) wars, but stop talking shit.

Consoles do have operating systems too, just a little more specialized. Xbox even runs on stripped windows and has a virtual machine embedded. Talk about "eating extra power" and layers of abstraction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_One_system_software

And the figure 4 times is bullshit. All depends on the workload (the kind of game, and coding style used to implement it).

They buy cheap stock-tech which is technically a low-tech pc to a lower price and are crippled with higher game prices which stay at an all-time high. I agree that pcs are becoming less useful with people using smart-phones and the necessary for writing real letters diminishing but a console IS limiting the technical abilities of games. On top of that consoles becoming more pricey anyway plus less reliable than they used to be. Desktop PC's on the other hand are actually cheap after you took the initial steep price for getting your first equipment. After that it's usually just buying a new gfx card after 2-4 years and maybe a bit of additional ram.

Except the PC also runs at a higher resolution, higher FPS and far better post-processing quality.

Adam Kicinski said in an interview. "We broke into the mainstream. It is such a moment in our firm's history that after some years people will look differently at CD Projekt before and after this release."
Dude can't wait for the EA acquisition.

or EA CDP, and CDP will join glorious mainstream makers like Bioware.

 

[norolim]

Yeah, Bioware will become CD Projekt RED Montreal

I'm just curious, do the profits of the Witcha go to CDProjekt? I heard they make some cash with GoG and they having their own money on Witcha 3 isn't that unbelievable or they have the usual publisher contract "We pay you in potatoes and we get the money." with Warner Bros?
