The Witcher 2 approaches 1m sales

CD Projekt's The Witcher 2 has almost sold a million copies since its release on May 17 this year. The Warsaw Business Journal reports rmt(Gamasutra) that the title moved 940,000 copies in the first half of 2011.That's good going considering the game has so far only released on PC. An Xbox 360 version is in the pipeline but was recently delayed from this year into Q1 2012. The developer said the legal tangle between Namco and THQ over publishing rights to the game played a part in the decision to push the launch to 2012.On the plus side, studio head Adam Kicinski said: "The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection, so that the game offers an ideally balanced, fantastic experience to gamers."
