How Many Copies Did The Last of Us Have To Sell To Become Profitable?

1.5 million copies at U$60 = 90 million

That $90 million is total revenue, though.  It's not all going to Sony or to Naughty Dog.  Retail margins, manufacturing, shipping, etc.  Sony itself probably isn't making much more than $30 or so from each copy, if that.

According to the anatomy of a $60 game, Sony is making $41 on each game sold.

Also, I was reading on GAF that The Last of Us team had 90 people. That is not a lot these days. Budget most likely around $40M when you know that Uncharted 2 had a budget of $20M.
