The last of us will most likely be there new IP but since they started working on it, they have expanded as a team (sony acknowledged their talent <3), so Uncharted will be their crown jewel. If The last of us us well recieved, then ND will be playing with that franchise and obviously Uncharted. If not, perhaps a new IP + uncharted. It all depends really on what they want to do with the last of us and how it turns out. One thing is for sure: Uncharted is Sony's flagship right alongside God of War and obviously Gran Turismo. Sony would rather die as a company than enter PS4 era without NDs Uncharted franchise. The insane acclaim and sales display enough interest from the fans and I dont think Sony even saw it coming themselves.

UC1 was good but UC2 and UC3 really took it to another level. Overall, the franchise being at 13M is easily putting a smile on Sonys face. Makes you think the money out in GGs engine for Killzone could have been used for ND instead xD. Luckily ND has 2 teams now meaning Sony did throw them some cash.

I wish Sony expanded Polyphony Digital. Gran Turismo is a great game, but Turn 10 is over twice as big. It's going to be very difficult for PD to make console defining sims again unless they expand. It's also really sad to only see 1 GT on PS3 because there is so much room for improvement. GT5 does not feel like it pushes the PS3 to the max.

As for The Last of Us, I'm really excited. Uncharted 2 (and I bet 3) are excellent games, and the only problem I really have with them is that they aren't my favorite genre. I love Drakes comedic role, but I'm not big on Indianna Jones style, exploring, which turns into a save the world plot. I like Apocalyptic Sci Fi (something like The Last of Us, Fallout, and Gears of War) and futuristic sci-fi (Mass Effect and Halo).

So I'm really excited for The Last Of Us. I wish PS4 would come soon because I want to replace my borken PS3, but this late into the gen, it makes more sense to save that $200 into a PS4 (already beat most PS3 exclusives I find interesting).
