The best-selling platform for the game remains PC, with 53% of sales. PS4 ranks second (26%), while Nintendo Switch (11%) barely overtakes Xbox One (10%) . That being said, we should keep in mind that the Switch version has been available only since October.

The Witcher 3 sold best in Europe, which generated 37.2% of sales in 2019, followed by Asia (27.9%) and North America (25,6%).

You can see all the relevant graphs below. Looking at the pillars, it appears that shipments in 2019 were just under seven million copies.

Interestingly, we also hear that both The Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings ” continue to attract players and generate revenues.”

It’s certainly impressive to see that the Witcher Franchise appears to be unstoppable, even thanks to the renewed visibility brought by the Netflix series, which will likely have extensive effects on sales in 2020 as well.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
