Wasn't it originally supposed to be on PS3/Xbox 360 but due to the development hell it was then for mostly Xbox Series X and PS5? I remember watching one of the What Happened video and it said something like that..

you are blaming the wrong people here, I blame the higher ups from CD Project for not only firing most skilled staff who did Witcher 3 but also hire people who has barely any experince and throw them to the deep end which doesn't help with the marketing department just overhyping the game.
