The release of the PS4 TLOU was for people who didn't own a PS3, as they had statistical data showing that 31% of PS4 owners only had a Wii or 360 last gen. TLOU is also the most decorated game ever and is literally one of the greatest games of all time, based on its critical reception, both by consumers and reviewers. Not to mention it had 7 million sales as an exclusive new IP? Is it wrong to allow those fans who never owned a PS3 a chance to play the game? Because that was the reasoning behind it.
This PS3 version is just what happens with any popular game on any system. I'll agree that the timing is off when you consider that TLOU:R came before...but it's literally no different than Skyrim GOTY, Borderlands GOTY, Gears GOTY, etc.
I'll tell you this, let's say there was no Gears in 2006. Instead, Gears 1 was the swan song of the 360. If I didn't have a 360 last gen and I jumped to XBone, I for damn sure would want a game like that on my console. And then Gears GOTY would be a 360 release in the same vein as every other GOTY.
