Sadly it will sell 1/4 million the first month, possibly reaching 1 or 2 millions lifetime. I have nothing against this game, but I really miss the days when backwards compatibility were a must in every decent machine.

It's more than just a release, 60 fps and the story dlc makes it more than worth it.

So it's like a Game of the Year edition with a better framerate? That's great but I still think it's too soon.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Not only framerate, its now Full HD along with updated models, textures, shadows etc., by taking advantage of the PS4 power. The price also only 50$ including DLC for PS4 where still PS3 version also costs same or more including DLC.

GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

According to a report, there is 30% of gamers on PS4 who never played The Last Of Us, so that makes 2,4M potential buyers(potential because not everyone will want to discover this game), not including those who want to rebuy it.

So my 1M prediction is the least to expect

Since the game has only shipped 6 million units (as of March), it's very likely that there are more than 2.4 million people that own a PS4 and have never played TLOU. Considering that not every person that bought TLOU already upgraded to a PS4 I'd say that probably (a lot) less then 50% of current PS4 owners have played TLOU before.

The timing was just about right for me. I was so close buying the "Left Behind"-DLC for 15 € ($20) when the rumours of a PS4 version got serious.

So instead of buying the DLC I sold my TLOU-retail-disc... for only 7 € less than I had paid for it.

Today I preordered the PS4-version (which includes that DLC) for merely 37 € ($50-PSN gift card via Amazon.com, then entered the code in my US PSN-account).
