THE WITCHER 2: ASSASSINS OF THE KINGS Delayed for the Xbox 360

"The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection" as the game is pushed back to the first quarter of next year.

IGN report that Witcher 2: Assassins of the Kings for the Xbox 360 will be delayed until the first quarter of 2012. Adam Kicinski, President of CD Projekt RED S.A. said in a statement;

"We have decided not to withhold information and to tell our fans immediately of the Xbox 360 launch moving to Q1 2012,".
The reason for the delay is "The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection"; however one of the other reasons cited is the legal dispute CD Projekt RED is having with Namco Bandai over distribution of the game in Western Europe, Central and South America and Asia-Pacific. There will be more information about the Xbox 360 version of the game as the launch window for Witcher 2 approaches. For me this delay is actually a good thing because this winter is so over crowded with games that spacing the Witcher 2 out will probably increase sales. Is anyone disappointed about the release of Witcher 2 being delayed or has everyone already played the game on the PC?
