Well deserved. 
Morbus
Colonel RPG
In my opinion this is the best AAA RPG in forever.
It sold more than Skyrim, right?

No, I'm pretty sure Skyrim sold significantly more, but TES in general was much better known and more mainstream than the Witcher series was leading up to TW3.

I wish they gave figures for each of the games Morbus but 25 million is a combined number. I'm sure that TW3 outsold the other 2 by a significant amount though.

Zloty's, Polish currency? As in, our Zloth? ( he must be popular there ).
They were prior Witcher II, near bankruptcy, so this is quite a turn around. Hope this gives them some breathing room to release Cyberpunk without rushing it.

Playing this now and enjoying it quite a bit much better than the second one which I didn't really care for and was glad to see end.
I'm probably not as big a fan of CDPR as many here but I'm still a fan and it's nice to see them do well.

I bet all Codexians had this impression while playing TW3:
Yea, the same one they get while posting something on RPGwatch.

Skyrim had US$1.39 billion in sales from an US$85 million development and marketing budget. That is a pretty sweet profit margin. You'd think there would be more players in the AAA cRPG market with those numbers. Maybe it's just too difficult to break in?

TW1 is very different from TW3. Still a great game though imo.
The timing of this news is humorous in light of the recent IGN interview with Garriott who has some "pessimistic views" as to the future of cRPGs. He points out a lot of problems but while games like W3 still rise to prominence.

He says something interesting in that interview that I agree with. It does seem that when the new technology comes out, the games simplify and focus on just showing off the new tech. That was sort of my experience with games over the years as new consoles came out. The first titles were generally the "Wow! Look at what this console can do!" type games, and then a little bit later the more complex games would drop. I don't know if that's a hard science or anything but I certainly noticed it growing up with the latest consoles.
