I think more than that. According to cd project the pc version sold 1.3 m units digitally in 2 weeks, most of it probably sold in the first week.

Personaly I did not like the gameplay, it is too stucked, but the storyteling is amazing and the game earned my respect due to the honest business model.

Kinda sad how much the PS4 outsold the Xbox One, seeing the Xbox had exclusive advertising rights for it. Great game for sure. I'm still enjoying it.

And indeed that just shows how much those advertising rights can be worth..

All i can think of in terms of the XB1 version being smashed is my own reason for not getting it as an XB owner. I had been looking forward to it for months...and just as it came out all those reports came out of the XB version needing a patch desperately. I decided to wait till that patch came out, brought the GTA V remaster instead....and am still happy just playing that.

Now Arkham knight has come out and its missed its window. I'll get back to it eventually just not now. (Theres a lesson publishers, stop releasing games not up to scratch on release)
