It's not a sale that reflects the love and effort poured into it. But it's not bad for a game that has been a PC game for quite some time before the console release.

If you put them together... that is 1.4 milion copies sold for 1 year and a little.... so pretty nice job considering that CD Projekt Red is not a big dog yet.

Plus, being based in Poland, that money will go a lot further than their US / Western Europe rivals' money will.

If possible, sure. I think they'd do better releasing it on the next Xbox and / or Playstation. This generation is really long in the tooth now and Witcher 2 is the kind of game to tax even powerful PCs. The port looked a good one, but I bet quite a bit has been lost in the translation all the same.

I would think so and I support this since I don't want our minister of creative accounting to get more money than he already does :D.

I don't know if anyone knows this, but TW2 XBox 360 version uses every single content warning. While this is going to be awesome for some people it's going to make it a grown ups only game (probably as it should be, but still, Aunt Sally is going to opt for Mass Effect 3 or something for a gift, just due to that).
Kingdom of Amalur had a lot of cross promotion with ME3, which probably boosted its sales somewhat, I expect long term the XBox 360 sales of TW2 to reach or eclipse the PC sales.

If anything the higher sales of Kingdom of Alamur compared to Witcher 2 shows how little graphics and other aspects of the actual game actually do matter compared to advertising. (just played the demo of kingdom of Akamur and it was a boring buggy mess) Unfortunately, this may just cause companies to spend even more on advertising and less on the actual game. :
