Edge: 1M Sold: The Witcher's Secret to PC Success

Edge writes: "PC gaming is taking a beating from consoles in terms of revenue, if your packaged goods, Western-centric attitude is to be believed.

But in an environment where PC gaming appears to be in an uphill battle against accessible consoles, wonky system requirements and--gasp--piracy, Poland-based CD Projekt's development debut, the PC RPG The Witcher, has been able to sell 1 million copies worldwide in the 12 months since its release.

And why wouldn't it be a commercial success? With such a mainstream license from best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski portrayed in a single-player PC RPG, The Witcher was a sure-fire hit all along." (Industry, PC, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition)
