Batman: Arkham City ships 4.6 million in first week

all people who say that that the pc version is better sucks

Welcome to hell!

Wow great job Rocksteady. It is a without a doubt one of the best games I have played this year.

Ok so they made 276,000,000 dollars. now when is that going to be enough money

Wonderful game. I'm almost through with all the collectables now, and it's still fun to glide around and beat up thugs.

Lego sold 7 million? -_-

This is one of the games I really want to play...

@Jinjuri shipping and selling selling = money + shops running out of stock shipping = filling stock 5 x selling = 2 x shipping selling = 2.5 x shipping so if the game is "shipped" it becomes sold

have the game.... gotta say, for those that haven't got the game go get it.... its an awesome game.... definitely one of the favorite contender for this year's game of the year title....

How ironic that the Dark Knight is doing a Dark Knight, selling much better than its predecessor.

Batman: the only DC character I respect, and admire. Batman: Arkham City - Game of the year for sure. If it doesn't win, may there be riots in the streets!!!

excited how much bf3 will sell first week?

Shipping =/= Selling. End of story.

I wish I could of been a part of that 4.6 million!!!

@Son_of_Bmore Couldn't agree more. All you need is an engaging story, great gameplay mechanics and an engrossing atmosphere.

This proves that all games don't need MP 2 sell

Waiting for PC. Got Batman Arkham City on Steam built a friends PC and he got a free Arkham City on Steam from Nvidia promotion and gave the coupon to me. I have the 360 version but refuse to play it worth the wait for PC version uses hardware PhysX. Was looking at screen differences and the PC version looks much better.

This game deserves every sale

Ahh it says 'ships' not 'sells'...but it definitely will :)

Waiting to get it on PC =)

@PeterDuck Perhaps your rant was intended for GTA5 announcement? Batman is made by Rocksteady,and its coming out on November 15,with a lot of good stuff on PC,tesselation,Nvidia Physix,etc.

Even if this game doesn't get game of the year (which it should) at least it'll probably get an award for best game based on a popular comic license. Now i'd like to see if Rocksteady could make a good Superman game where other developers have failed to do so. or a game featuring any of the other DC comic characters like Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Arrow...Etc!!!

i'm under an impression that many here don't realize that 'ships' does not equal 'sells'.

@PeterDuck Jesus man, calm down! The PC version will come on sept 15th, it isn't the end of the world!! Besides, we will be able to play it better.... lol

@johners2981 nearly, this shipped 4.6million in 1 week but sold just over 1 million

@PeterDuck RockSTEADY, not RockSTAR.

Got my Collector's on launch day, wonderful game. Really worthy of those numbers.

Now fix the wonky new game plus please.

Everything is proceeding as Joker forseen. :D

@PeterDuck what does rockstar has to do with batman ?

deserved it next time release PC version on time i am dying to play

cdog21 skyrim or UC3 will get the goty

This is good news to read before the world is taken over by a certain FPS coming out soon.

Still got a few week before I can play it, but glad to see it sold well

I guess Batman is having a party in his Batcave for this perfect, successful game.

This is definitely a Game of the Year contender. Finished it last night and I'm gonna be working on New Game+ tomorrow.

thanks for leaving out and alienating the PC crown Rockstar.

A great game should enjoy great sales. Much kudos to rocksteady for releasing such an awesome product!

4.6 million? god damn, that is ALOT. 'claps' well done.

@jlj905 + 5 to that.... Its freaking amazing, as one reviewer said, GOTY challenger for sure..Only Uncharted 3 can stop this..

game is amazing, congrats to Rocksteady

good for them the game looks well made im gonna rent it soon heh

@MasterDZ0522 Well, it was close. Modern Warfare 2 sold 4.7 million in its first week. But they're both very close, so there isn't a very easy way in comparing the two. But it's a good sign for Arkham City. Modern Warfare 2 went on to sell 20 million units just by June, so if Arkham City keeps going this way, it'll have 20 million or more.

Its about time that we that like single player camp. games that last longer than 6 hours got some thing we can look forward to playing. I do like some multi player on line games, but when i buy a game it is for the campaign.

@Grovilis Normally, I would take the fun to bash you but I agree. I was a huge fan of the first game but Arkham City doesnt impress me that much. Id give it a lower score then the first game.

Good to see a game that deserves good sales sell well. Rather than the usual COD crap.

Really want to play this, but 60 bucks is just a bit much to spend for a singleplayer only game in my opinion unless it's an RPG like Skyrim.

Does this top MW2 or no? I'm pretty sure it did, unless MW2 was 6 mil in the first week...

My number 1 game of this year. Congrats Rocksteady
