Does the lack of exclusive games affect PS4 sales though? All of this would make sense if PS4 sales would improve, but otherwise Sony gamers got to play those games regardless of whether or not they were on PS4. Unless the games could've improved a lot in the transition it could possibly have hurt the PS4's sales to have such a large drought for PS3. I think one of the reasons the PS4 was so successful is because the PS3 is ending its life very strongly and gamers in general expect the PS4 to continue this game support. Conversely, one of the reasons the Wii U failed was because Nintendo let the Wii die a dry death and gamers couldn't rely on Nintendo for support.

Except the changes proposed would really only have concerned GOW for PS3, and missing out on that one game wouldn't really have matter when TLOU still would have released. The others released so close to the PS4 launch that they were too late to really affect what people thought of the laters years of PS3.

Oh and even if PS4 sales wouldn't have improved, software sales may have especially for GT6.

Yeah, other than software sales, I can't see it helping or hurting. One of the big complaints by gamers isn't that the PS4 doesn't have games, but it doesn't have many exclusive games. Ports really wouldn't change that complaint. In fact more cross-gen ports would just be more ammo for such an argument. Although it would be very nice for people whom, by chance, didn't have a PS3 but bought a PS4. And playing these titles in 1080p (and maybe 60fps) is always nice.
