Uncharted 2 sells well in Japan despite unsightly handicap

After
Uncharted the First hit Japan with the force of a thousand
baby chicken feathers, we didn't think
the game's sequel would have much of an impact in the region. It seems we were mistaken -- according to a
gaming retailer blog called Sinobi,
Uncharted 2 sold 47,000 units in its first day at retail in Japan. Sure, it's not the biggest launch ever, but it's a huge improvement over the original
Uncharted's first-day sales of 7,300 units.
Of course, the original
Uncharted didn't have the massive install base and Sony marketing support that Naughty Dog's latest endeavor has -- nor did it possess the simply
stunning box art seen above. Seriously, Japanese
Uncharted 2 box art, we're gonna need that breath back. You know, that breath that you
took away.
