The Last of Us PS4 has already eclipsed its PS3 predecessor

So the standard for a remaster to be considered wanted it to break sales records now?

I guess it's really difficult for some people to accept, even though Sony had officially confirmed it, that about 1/3 of PS4 owners never owned a PS3. TLOU:R is aimed particularly at these people. And given TLOU has sold to less than 10% of PS3 install base it's a pretty good bet that a fair few PS4 owners who did own PS3 didn't get around to picking up TLOU.

No one is saying TLoU is a bad game. In fact, it's a really good game. However, this "remaster" was simply overhyped, and so far it doesn't appear as though consumer demand is matching that hype.

And you're basing this on what? Is it that the game is on top of pretty much every gaming bestseller list on Amazon in NA and Europe?  Or that it has already 16k ratings on PSN (which can only be given if you bought the game) compared to for example 30k for Infamous Second Son.

It's a game that is extremely known for its single player campaign, so it's really no surprise that people jump into that first.

The game is doing very well for itself.
