Scroll down to Mikhal Kicinski's post where he explains the reasons for cancelling the console version of The Witcher known as Rise of the White Wolf. (soutce:

In this thread,
http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/inde...topic=23707.15
there's a link to Gamebanshee that basically explains that CD Project has cancelled the console versions of The Witcher and an undisclosed project as well while they are focusing on making The Witcher 2.
Brother None (who works for gamebanshee) says a bit laterin the thread that many people were let go at CD Project, lately two dozens people were let go.
(and this was the second round of firing people at CD Project).

that so many people have lost their jobs in the current job-market. I'm somewhat happy that we do get a Witcher 2 game, but this happyness comes with a bitterweetness in my mind...
