Great to see Uncharted 2 doing so well considered the original didn’t do so hot in Japan. The fact that it outsold Okami on Wii is pretty interesting also. Estimates from the States say that Uncharted 2 shifted half a million copies already which resulted in a 25% rise in PS3 sales. Stay tuned here at the TGL for our Uncharted 2 review over the next few days. If I had a choice, I’d buy the Japanese version. Just check out the nifty box art.
