The Witcher 2 achieves almost 1 million sales in first half 2011

CD Projeckt RED's The Witcher 2 stands at 940k copies sold as the first half of 2011 passes, and over 400k of those were during its launch week in May.

The original game cleared 1 million units which CD Projekt hailed as a tremendous achievement. The Witcher 2 releases on Xbox 360 next year.

The studio hails the original RPG title's success as tremendous given it was an unknown IP from an unknown developer. CD Projeckt RED saw profits of $7.09 million for the first half of 2011 as it generated approximately $27.92 million in revenue.

The Witcher 2 releases on Xbox 360 in early 2012. The studio will also be releasing a major update for the PC game which will bring it to 'Version 2.0' they say.
