Lets see what the 'doing' charts said about Uncharted 4
Welcome back! Seems folks are excited for God of War -- GoW III Remastered was the most downloaded PS4 game from PlayStation Store last month! 7 Days to Die took the second-place spot, followed by Naughty Dog's masterful The Last of Us Remastered.

Not being on the top 20 after the first few months doesn't really mean a game didn't do well... Using such logic, Uncharted 4 didn't do well, yet its the best selling game in the series. Its great for zingers and one liners and trying to cherry pick to bend some narrative, but when you actually look at many great selling single player titles,
MOST don't just live on the charts for life or something. So....GTA V and Zelda Breath Of The Wild are not the norms of game sales to really be trying to argue living on the chart as being some normal thing or something lol
That would be like trying to argue any game not outselling Call Of Duty must have failed or something. So when you ACTUALLY look at how MOST AAA single player games perform, they don't live on the charts, its not unusual to see a title a few months in not appear on the top 20 downloads.
Some of the best selling games in many series have actually disappeared from the top 20 after the first few months. Using such logic, it would question how God Of War 2018 became the best selling God Of War title or how Uncharted 4 became the best selling in the series or Fallout 4 etc. Those games all disappeared from the top 20 downloads after a few months too... So in order to understand if something is abnormal, I still need to see just what normal actually is. Its why I don't really fall for this whole "yoooooo this game did (xyz)" or "yoooooo this developer did this" or "yooooo this person left said team". I first need to know, is this normal? Look it up, oh....so its normal for a artist and writers to shift to different teams after a project is done? Thus...not abnormal. I do this with all data. Again, in order to understand if something is abnormal, you still actually need to look at the MAJORITY to see how they do in this area to even understand if this is rare.
Its not as unique as you think once you start actually bringing up facts huh?
