Uncharted gonna chart! Best 1st week numbers in the series.
I guess the Xbox folks thought Uncharted was releasing on Xbox.

Was the spoiler tag necessary given that the Xbox's History in Japan is well documented and known?

How do you even figure? It's the only thing on the chart in it's first week and there's a lot of stuff that clearly sold as much or more in it's first week on there. Of course it's going to dwarf everything else when it's literally the only thing being freshly released this week. Meanwhile I notice Splatoon has almost charted for a solid year now.
Looking around I notice a lot of other sites making a tremendously big deal out of this like it's somehow surprising that it's first and Kirby second in their first and third weeks respectively and like it means something. No wonder I barely take gaming journalism seriously anymore, it's all bought and paid for and the writers are all kind of sensationalist click bait artists who have little more to contribute to the discussion than your average Youtube reactionary reviewer.

Kinda sad that the PC doesn't even show up on the lists.

Those articles are probably written by people trying to spin numbers in order to generate publicity. There's even articles praising a game for being number one for the week but not pointing out nothing else released that week and it only sold 40,000 copies.

In that case, then, my hype has been misplaced; my sincere apologies.  Should've realized already that it was a slow week.

I'd love to see these other sites that fit you're dumb conspiracy theory.
I doubt anyone is making a big deal about this beyond stating Uncharted 4 had a good debut in Japan.

No it's pretty obvious why you don't pay attention to them, it's because they don't fit into your narrow minded viewpoint. Oh no something Western is doing well!

Doubtful - U4 is already the 4th (and final) of the series. Everybody's familiar with it.
