This is great news, especially since the 2012 debuted console debut on the Xbox 360 contributed largely to this result, receiving great feedback from gamers and critics. The Witcher 2 is already a classic RPG, so if you haven't played it yet be sure to enhance your role-playing collection and experience an unique gaming adventure) - said Adam Kiciński, CEO of CD PROJEKT SA group.
