Sales of Batman: Arkham City Clear 4.6 Million in 1 Week

4.7
Batman: Arkham City has shipped over 4.6 million units worldwide since its October 18 US launch on Xbox 360 and PS3. It's also the highest reviewed PS3 and Xbox 360 game of 2011. That more than doubles the number of Batman: Arkham Asylum units sold in the same time period following its 2009 release, and "solidifies the game's place as a contender for one of the top-selling titles of 2011", according to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

The publisher also pointed out that the game is currently the highest reviewed PS3 and Xbox 360 game of 2011 on Metacritic, with average scores of 96 and 95 respectively.

WBIE president Martin Tremblay said the success "further establishes the Batman brand as a marquee franchise for our growing business".

Rocksteady studios game director Sefton Hill added: "The true test for any game is what the players think and we have been thrilled by their reaction to Batman: Arkham City.

"The team at Rocksteady put every ounce of effort into making the best Batman experience we possibly could, so we are overwhelmed by the incredible feedback from the community."

Warner confirmed last week that the PC version of Arkham City PC will launch on November 18.

We gave Arkham City 95 percent in our review, praising it for the way Rocksteady created and made use of a brilliant open world for some really varied gameplay.
