Batman: Arkham City has sold 2 million units since it's launch last week. The game which has seen some of the best reviews this year, currently sits atop the metacritic ratings system as the best rated game of the year, and a strong contender for Game of the Year more than likely.

The game has outperformed its well recieved predecessor in terms of scoring, and retailers anticipate even more sales in the future. Rocksteady has shipped almost 5 million units to retailers for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The PC version of the game saw a slight delay and will release next month, where sales could continue to climb even higher.

  f*ing discgrace to gamers if you download games, and specially games like this….also nice being unrespectfull to other people by saying only 13 years play this, first of all why should it matter? 2nd even if this was a kiddy game (that’s not) i would still love it.

Whoa. This is the best game in the last 3 years. This is so good you may want to lick it. Believe me it is an epic game, Batman couldnt be better. The most engaging gameplay, riveting story, best badass villains and graphics to drool for. This game is for gamers who want to game away entire chilly nights. Buy it and you will cherish it as your best gaming treasure. Happy gaming.. :)
