Nice to see the top ten reproduced here. The PS4 is a monster. People love buying new games for it!!!
Got a feeling that it's going to sell rather well overall. The hype was/is real.
That's great news, not just for PS4, but for the folks at CD Projekt. Well done to them!
Wait. Farming simulator is 2nd?!?!?!?
Awesome.
Not suprising at all.
However the PS4 version is vastly superior to the Xbox One which I was really suprised about especially considering that all the reviewers have down played this fact.
My most enjoyable single player game since the very first Mass Effect. I absolutely love it. It deserves every accolade it gets.
Is anyone else obsessed with Gwent and the Gwent quests that they are accidentally completely ignoring the main quests?! I can't get enough of it and I can't wait until my other 3 decks are full so I can play with them.
@ApostateMage - I have only had my PS4 for a few months but it is hands down my favorite game I have played this gen.
I'm guessing that everyone that bought The Witcher 3 were so infatuated by all the NPCs talkin' loike a farrmar, that they decided they needed to buy that there Farming Simulateer as a show of respect.
Great game loving every minute.
