More games that can be played on PS4, you mean. Because this doesn't mean there are going to be more games. If anything, this means there are going to be less new games because teams that could be working on brand-new games are working on remastering old games instead.

Nope, Sony has started outsourcing their Remasters, neither GoW3 nor the Uncharted Collection are made by their original studios but instead studios that specialize on ports (Bluepoint Games) or teams nobody has ever heard about (Wholesale Algorithms).

As someone said, citation needed, and even if that's true, those teams could have worked on new games instead. Maybe the loss isn't that great but it's a loss nonetheless.

Sanzuru Games actually got to make their very own Sly Cooper game, thanks to the great reception of their Sly Cooper Trilogy remaster.  It also gives little known game devs experience and jobs/money.  So that, coupled with the fact that people can play classics they may not have, without them looking quite so dated, it seems more positive can come out of these remasters than bad.
