A lot of people (myself included) complained when TLOU was delayed, and was announced to be coming out a few days after E3. Some thought it was a bad launch date and would get burried in the E3 news. Luckily it's a "once in a generation" type of game, that got numerous 10/10 reviews.
In hindsight..... it was a GREAT idea. Over 1 million PlayStation gamers just entered stores to buy The Last of Us and saw the new in-store ads for PS4, and were asked if they wanted to pre-order the PS4. This could be another reason why PS4 is killing it in pre-orders right now (in addition to all the other awesome things about it)
