Batman: Arkham City has set the sales chart on fire with two million copies sold in the first week. Warner Bros. Interactive just sent a PR confirming the same. The game launched in October 18th to huge critical success and such sales are well deserved.
It seems to have doubled the first week sales of Batman: Arkham Asylum but we don’t have confirmation about that yet. The game is currently sitting on 95 in a Metacritic for the 360 version and 96 for the PS3 version. They game has shipped more than 4.6 million units worldwide till now.

“Rocksteady Studios went above and beyond in delivering an incredible game and the support of the entire team at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment drove the excellent campaign a game like this deserves.”
