The detective’s game shipped 4.2 million copies in its first week – an impressive feat – but even more astounding are the sales. Though many often lament over the overabundance of shooters, it looks like gamers are ready for more, as Arkham City has sold 2 million of those copies in just one week.
The numbers come from the LA Times, who notes that the sales put it among the fastest selling games of the year. Sure, those aren’t Battlefield or Call of Duty numbers, but 2 million copies in the first week is absolutely wonderful news for Warner Bros. and Rocksteady. It’s also worth mentioning that these sales came without the PC version having released, as it was recently delayed until next month.
