CDProjekt is growing and it's for the best.

As long as they don't stray from their awesome ways.

They didn't shaft Sony, their studio is pretty small and they decided to go w/ the 360 because its similar to the PC (which is what they're use to).

@ MariaHelFutura: I don' t agree with what tmoss726 said BUT: "will be simultaneous multi-platform releases for PC and next-generation consoles" must be explained ... I mean, yesterday they didn' t have the chance to make a PS3 version because of the "small team" story and now suddenly they are going to develope TWO (2!) AAA titles on THREE (3!) different systems ...

I' m a bit confused :/

PS: I do not want to be misunderstood, I'm happy with this news, more games the better, I think they are great developers.

@Seventh_Blood_Reborn

I think with the xbox release they will have the funds to hire a bigger team for future releases so they can release xbox and PC at the same time.

Seventh_Blood_Reborn5204d ago (Edited 5204d ago )

@ caboose32: I see, but this would mean that they DO have the chance to do a PS3 version of Witcher 2 but they are just not interested then, so, why don' t just say it instead of continuing to say that their team is too small to do that?

In my opinion they would have been better to say: "honestly we prefer to focus on other projects instead of developing Witcher 2 for PS3, sorry."

caboose325204d ago

Well they never said they wont do a PS3 version The Witcher 2. In every interview when asked if there will be a PS3 version they say that they would love to but they are focusing on ONE platform at a time.

Things are very unpredictable for them at the time because the game could bomb on consoles or do great, so I think they are waiting to see how it does on xbox.

What studio doesn't set out to make a "AAA" game?

Ducky5204d ago (Edited 5204d ago )

Poor ones? O.o

EDIT: If you think like that, sure.
But I think 'AAA' is typically regarding the game's budget.
i.e. Had a large team, and large production costs.

Obviously, by pouring in all that money and manpower, they want to a high quality product, but it isn't guaranteed.

MariaHelFutura5204d ago (Edited 5204d ago )

Still.... "AAA" to me, means and outstanding expierence. Which small/poor studios can muster up everyonce and a while. A poor studio could even make a "AAA" handheld title, if they choose to do so. If it means something else, let me know.

@above

Yeah, I guess so. Personally, I hate the term "AAA", so let stop even talking about this.

Ness-Psi5204d ago

for some reason i always thought they were talking about batteries lol.

camel_toad5204d ago

I imagine they could make a great launch title for a lucky next gen console...

LX-General-Kaos5204d ago

looking very much forward to it

sriki0075204d ago

atleast they know what they are doing!! witcher+nxt gen consoles and pc's= win

Cause they play NBA2k26, COD and gamepass

Fishy Fingers58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

Bathyj58d ago

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

LMGk58d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

GamingSinceForever58d ago

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai58d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.

I’m trying to understand the relevance in their impression of XBOX’s new boss. Maybe I’m just missing something.

SimulationDaily59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Yeah, what some of the best game developers on the market think of her and what she intends to do after meeting her is totally irrelevant. 😂
