Or is Xbox being delucional, pumping in a lot of money expecting bethesda levels of success?
I did get the Witcher Anniversary Xbox controller, but that's for my PC use. I have no Xbox.
I only managed to get myself one at MSRP when they were restocked several months later.
But I'm pretty confident that for this case, it was because it's more to do with Witcher than Xbox. At least that was my reason.

Controller use also tripled since 2018 likely due to people ditching console.
Butt ugly shaders and lighting (cheap, fake, weird edge glow on everything)... totally mediocre dialogue, the world feels like a string of small maps, about as immersive as a doornail... and combat was just painful
