Ps4 117.19 million, ps5 61.94 million+

This is why people are fine with this. Plus most of the games Sony are remastering are already readily available on ps5. Also Sony are releasing very few actual new games, which is the main frustration people have at the moment.

Sony is releasing very few new games? Maybe this year. Not like the PS5 didn't get a lot ot great games this year even as Sony got a slow year.

Sony new games since the PS5: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Returnal, God of War Ragnarok + Valhalla, Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Forbidden West, Spider Man 2 and Astro Bot... all pretty good or great games up until now.

You are sidestepping the matter of availability that was raised a couple of times already.

If you ever had a PS3, you can play the original TLOU. If you have a PS4 you can play the remaster. If you have a PS5, you could already play the remaster through BC but now you also have the second remaster. On top of all that, these consoles have sold 87, 117m and 60m and counting.

The only way to play XCX up until this release was on Wii U. A 13m selling console without any BC alternatives for its games.

For the record, I am fine with ports from all companies in 90% of situations. I do find the PS4->PS5 a waste when you can perfectly good version already available on the console. My point is that there is a pretty obvious reason that one remaster got a better reception than the other and it's not only a matter of different fanbases.
