They represent 130 million users, more or less, for CDPR, from a merely financial point of view, should be actually top 1 priority.

Nothing unusual
The game performs equally well on amd/nv hardware bar ray tracing.
Lets hope this scares other studios to not release next gen stuff on last gen hardware.
Was there any mention of Sony stopping physical sales as well?

First time for everything...
Ouch!
I believe GTA V held the prior record ($250M - $270M).

Looks like CDPR were the ones who asked for the game to be de-listed from the PSN Store. Looks like this was the only way to guarantee refunds.
Good on CDPR for doing this, despite all their other mistakes.

The decision sounds more like Sony. I bet those discussions weren't simply about refunds...
Does Google cache managed to catch it?
EDIT:
No but he said this too. If CDProjekt did not talk about refund, Sony would have not done this. CDProjekt lose trust of Sony and they need to reach something correct to be listed again on PSN.
Same the emergency investor call was an error and it showed they talk too fast about refunds. This will be a case about mismanagement in MBA course.
Mainstream media beginned to talk about this shitshow this week.

Evolution studios was closed because it was bleeding money like Studio Liverpool. For example Media Molecule never losed money, it was at least the case before releasing Dreams.
Maybe they can optimize this for Cyberpunk 2077. It seems they don't use Umbra anymore. Or maybe not.

Evolution closed because Motorstrom Apocalypse and DriveClub were commercial failures. To suggest that Polyphony had to do anything with it doesn't make any sense at all, primarily they are different games. Driveclub was an arcade game, like NFS or Forza Horizon. GT is a simcade, much more realistic driving although not close to iRacing or similar games.
edit: and as @snc mentions, the game released with a broken online system when it was basically an online game. After several delays if I remember correctly.
It was such a mistake to close that studio. Even if Sony were losing money with them, it was good for them as Driveclub was used to showcase the PS4 (those gifs are still amazing now!) and is still loved by many now.
Now many of those people are lost into the EA oblivion. With Covid and all, good luck now funding another similar studio with similarly talented people. Also they had great tech that could have being used in others Sony studios like: Dynamic volumetric clouds, rain effect on windscreen, environement lighting. Those last 3 still being unmatched today.
A videogame studio losing money? Wow never heard of it before. How dare they?

This is not the same the before, games cost tons of money to make now. For example Wipeout franchise never made money for Sony ok for PS2 when development cost were low but now it is too much.
The cloud technology of Drive Club is made in a middleware.

They have drive club as a reference.
Yes there were issues, but Evolution Studio rapid closure wasn't simply a financial one. There was real bad blood... not simply rumor.

The decision was reportedly made by both, as it was CD Projekt who approached Sony and not the other way around.
Everyone seems to be assuming this decision was made unilaterally by Sony due to the game having bugs, but as explained by DigitalFoundry Sony doesn't really go deep into in-game bugs. Their certification process covers mostly if any harm is coming to the console, and I haven't heard reports of Cyberpunk crashing consoles.
Games like life of black tiger still exist in the PS store for a reason.
It's also clear, from CDPR's investor reports, that it's not in CDPR's best interests to keep selling Cyberpunk 2077 for last-gen consoles in the state it's in.
They claimed they're focusing on regaining consumer trust, and not selling the game while it's in that state sounds like the only thing they can do right now.
The problem wasn't simply about bugs or certs... but CDPR making decisions without involving Sony first. Any discussions afterwards was most definitely driven by Sony.
