Spider-Man for PS4 has dethroned Batman: Arkham City as the best-selling superhero game of all time

Last year, one of the most-anticipated games to launch was Insomniac's Spider-Man game. It was a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and became a major system-seller, being one of the 2018's best critical and commercial video game successes. And according to the American market research trackers, the NPD Group, Spider-Man is still going strong. As of the latest NPD report, Spider-Man PS4 has overtaken Batman: Arkham City to become the highest-selling superhero video game of all time in North America. This feat can be considered as rather impressive, as Arkham City had multiple releases on various platforms, while Spider-Man has been a single-system exclusive game. Amusingly enough, the top-10 superhero games all feature either Batman or Spider-Man in some way, with Arkham Knight and Asylum, LEGO Batman, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, The Spider-Man movie game adaptations, and Injustice all ranking on the list.

Insomniac goes from developing the all time classic Spyro series to a super hero movie. That's a downgrade in my opinion. Hopefully they go back to developing original IP's again.

Laughable comment - Yr level should be downgraded to 0 - go play the game then post a sensible comment

The numbers I could find say 9 million sold..
That's very good for a single console, but a long way to go until Halo (60 million) or even new super Mario bros (31 million)

Even if I didn't hate the ps4 controller layout, seeing as I find it uncomfortable when compared to an Xbone unit, I wouldn't get a PS4 for just one game. And considering how useless a stock ps4 is to me otherwise, it's not worth it for me to consider a PS4 that isn't jailbroken, if not already running full CFW.
