I guess Arkham City was its direct rival?

Is that milestone counting bundles? because NPD doesn't track bundle units sold I think

Matt has said on the ResetEra thread that this number does not count bundles and that it is in terms of $$$ not units.

Pretty amazing since all the other big super-hero games (read: Arkham) are multi-platform.

Pretty impressive then. So with bundles counted, maybe more than 5 million in USA by the end of the year?

Very good news about gaming sales everywhere right now, well maybe except for BFV and F76...

I wasn't aware of that "superhero game" is a genre... I guess Labo is the fastest selling "kids toy simulation game" then... Nintendo should make some PR like Insomniac does... :P
