Yes, it is.

Whether yuo like it or not, this game will sell, you dont have to buy it because clearly you are a Nintendo fan infact i believe this game is actually moving consoles too because the PS4 console moved from the 11th spot on the Amazon best seller to the 5th spot and it has been that way since this game came out. So yes, the demand is very much there. If you cant acknowledge that; your cup of tea. 


I'm not saying the game won't sell. However it being a blockbuster hit and selling over a million within the first week is highly unlikely.

And lets say it does happen. Lets say it does sell over a million within its first week. What then?  We can expect other companies to follow suit with this, and soon the PS4 would be chalked full of "remasters".  PS4 owners wouldn't be too happy, just like they aren't too happy about the huge influx of indie titles on their system.

1) lol I never said it would be a blockbuster hit, I said it would sell well  (future tense, pay attention). and it kept to that predition. TLOU already sold 7 million copys on the PS3 and I am cool with that. If it can sell 2 million on the PS4, that will be more than satisfying.

2) Also this is the vey first remake of a PS exclusive. Where did you get the news of the PS4 being "chalked full " of remasters. Isnt MS coming out with the Master Chief Collections? the same ONE number of remasters that the PS4 has?

 

3) Also, what makes you think  PS4 owners are mad about the indies on the system? the typical PS4 owner knows that more exclusives are coming in the future and there are a lot of third party games still here. I really think people wouldnt be so discouraging if the PS4 wasnt outselling their favourite console. 

4) PS: No Man's Sky is an indie game; guess the influx of indies isnt really a bad thing if we can get something like that every 2 years on the indie side. guess who is clamouring for it now: Xbox fanboys dissing the PS4 about indies...


Lets address your points separately, shall we?

 

1) Well, "Will sell well" and "has sold well" are two different meanings. So, whatever "prediction" you're referring to, I'm certain it's not about TLoU:RE, because there aren't any official sales numbers on that game yet. (DId you even, read me post properly, or you just see what you what to see?)

2) I never said the PS4 was chalked full of remasters.  I was speaking theoretically. If TLoU sells a bunch, it will certainly lead to other companies following suit. As for the Master Chief Collection: That is a collection of games. Not only that, but Halo 1 and Halo 2 were given more than just increased resolutions and better textures. Also, it's not called "Remastered". By all intent and purposes, the Master Chief Collection seems like a better deal since it's 4 games for the price of one.

3) I hear many Sony fans complain about how they bought the PS4 for a next-gen experience while only being promised indie titles. Makes sense to me. People were promised 1080p/60fps graphics and a huge generational leap, but instead, were given indie games that don't look any more dazzling than what the Wii U can produce. As far as the future is concerned, buying a console for its potential future games is a terrible reason to buy a console. You buy a console for the games it has available right now. In the future, the PS4 may end up with a price drop with an decent exclusive pack-in. Or, on the other hand, the PS4 may never get the games you want. You honestly don't know. Also, who cares who's piece of plastic outsells another's piece of plastic? You don't work for Sony and I certainly don't work for Nintendo. Heck, I own a PS3 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I also have a beefy gaming rig in which I can play 3rd party games in 1080p/60fps or even 4k resolutions. Why care about how well the PS4 is selling or how poorly the Xbone is selling? Just play your games and be happy. 

(all this lines right here is of you now being theoretical; also, all of this is unfounded) 

4) Who cares?  (you seem to do very much, your entire last point was you subtly dissing the indies on the PS4) I certainly don't. Sony fans are the one's complaining about Sony focusing more on indie titles than AAA titles. I honestly think indies are the future of the industry and I definitely welcome the indie scene. 

PS:
I really dont care what the Xbox sales are...

Seriously, that is definitely something I can say I dont care about...

On the other hand, I would like for Sony to do well, because I believe they need this more than anyone else. 

Also, which Sony fans are complaining? people keep throwing blanket statements around...idk. All Sony fans are disappointed now? Yet, the system is still selling like crazy...too much indies and one remaster and not too many exclusives in the FIRST YEAR of a console's life cycle. UNHEARD OF!!!

Also, how many exclusive does Exclusives Champion Microsoft have on the Xbox One? I mean they have only one remaster. so, how many RELEASED (keyword here) exclusives do they have now? I will wait.....

Also, is MS's "remaster" all of a sudden different from a regular remaster now? Please, do tell me the requirement for something to be classified as a remaster again. 

What makes you think all games are worth of a remasters? the Ps3 and Xbox one had tonnes of remasters and neither of them lacked for exclusives. you are projecting right now....

At the end of the day, if the ps4 is doing as badly as you say, Then, it shouldnt sell as well as it is doing now. Guess Sony got something right. So, calm down, because nobody was blaming you for being a plastic defender, and enjoy the ride. It should be a short one, the way i see it.
