The Witcher 2 Skates Past 1.7 Million Copies Sold

The Witcher 2 has been a popular game among PC gaming enthusiasts, and most recently, PS3 and Xbox 360 owners. It’s been a wonderful RPG for gamers, and as such, as officially sold 1.7 million copies; this number is reserved to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

However, it goes without saying that 1.7 million is a ton of copies. When you take into account that the game had already been out on PC for months before its console release, it becomes a staggeringly amazing number.

The game is also slated for an August 23rd, 2012 release in Japan. This will be for the Xbox 360, and because of the 360’s relatively small sphere of influence in the country, will probably not have a huge impact on worldwide sales.

Something that might bring a little more bang, though, is CD Projekt’s latest announcement. They are planning on bringing a version of the game to Mac OS users. It’s a safe bet that the game will sell well there, and make The Witcher 2 an even more prominent game among video game fans.
