Lol, how did the 360 version bomb? Looks like The Witcher 1 is coming to consoles now too.

CDPR already announced it sold 250k in its first week worldwide and total sales for the game across both platforms is 1.7 million. Additionally all the CE s were sold out weeks before release. Only cost them 1 million to port so it has already been quite profitable.

Btw, Kingdoms of Amalur sold over 1.3 million copies, and that was considered a "bomb" here too. Just financially mismanaged when you needed 3 million to break even.

KoA sold 1.2, its a flop considering the amount of money spent on it. 1.2 mil on all 3 platforms combined doesn't cut it in the triple A console industry anymore. Why do you think the middle tier of developers don't exist anymore on consoles?

If your not GTA, CoD, Madden, FiFA, Battlefield or Assasins creed or a bethesda rpg you might as well not bother.

There are still plenty of "lesser" devs that are successful. Ninja Theory, 4A Games, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, the D Soul devs, Techland, etc. They just don't waste too much money and are usually in the positive with the quality:cost ratio and healthy sales. KoA's problem is that they probably paid their think tank stars too much money.

Considering how old and repetitive the above titles have become, I think new gameplay types and entirely new games will be of more interest.

they would be interesting to the people who aren't the idiots which is probably the minority.
