I think theres alot of confusion when it comes to totaling game sales. TLOU RM is a separate game to TLOU on PS3, adding them both together is odd. Thats like adding God Of War trilogy to the God Of War games sales, or Comparing Halo on Xbox and adding Halo Anniversary to its total sales count or Wind Waker to Wind Waker HD.. it doesnt work like that. TLOU on PS3 sold 7m, TLOU RM on PS4 sold 1+m plain and simple. The Bundles will help raise the PS4 TLOU RM while the PS3 has stopped at 7m, and to claim TLOU sold 10m is quite stupid in my opinion. That goes for all games and there remakes. I call it cheap sales, you can continue to make a game multiple times and release it every year and have a classic game sell way above 10m+ if companies wanted to. Point is 2 different games on 2 different systems.

People are adding the two for the same reason we add the sales of multi-plats, even if they released later on one platform (e.g. Mass Effect). TLOU:R is functionally just a next-gen port that release late (a GOTY edition really). Adding the two makes sense in certain situations. It's not quite the same as adding the sales of a remake that comes out 5/10+ years later.

This.
