The Last of Us Part II sold through more than 4m copies during its first weekend. Lifetime sales expectations for the PS4 version alone?

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the game underperformed relative to some early expectations. No one saw the huge backlash/controversy coming. I for one loved the first game yet couldn't bring myself to finish the 2nd, and really fucking hated it, more so after skimming through let's plays.

But I wouldn't rule out that the HBO series + a new marketing campaign may give the games a healthy sales boost and push them beyond the current trajectory. The Witcher 3 did get a serious boost from the Netflix series iirc.

The first half the game is is amazing.  I just didn't like the 2nd half at all.  Felt like a lame attempt to make the game 2x longer than it actually was.  I always compared it to RE2...  scenario B was always optional.  TLoU 2 should have used a scenario option and not forced both stories at once.
