Batman: Arkham City – 4.6 million shipped

One of the most hyped games this year has been flying off the shelves since it was released last week for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. According to the latest reports, 4.6 million units has been sold in the first week.

The sales of this game haven't been a surprise as the first game – Batman: Arkham Asylum was such a huge success story.

Batman: Arkham City has received many rave reviews already for both console platforms and it looks to be one of the big sellers this year. Having played the game myself (and beaten it already), I would say this is one you shouldn't miss, although I am really looking forward to seeing it running on a PC, rather than a console.

You have to wait a little while longer for that release in the UK however.

Kitguru says: Can anyone answer a question that has been burning for me? Why was Batman so grumpy and sour? Throughout the latter part of the game, he was being ruder and more dismissive of other characters. When he met Robin for the first time I actually wanted to reach into the screen and slap him myself. Perhaps being a billionaire is tougher than it sounds?
