Both, there are likely people buying PS4 who gamed on Xbox 360 instead of PS3 last time round
Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

It's both. Now, normally I'd say remasters and remakes are not systems seller. H2A, for example, would be great but it'd sell on nostalgia to those that have already played it (and likely would have bought an X1 anyways for Halo).
TLOU on the other hand, is a bit different in my opinion. It's a more recent title and in every single top related to it there's always a few or more posts that talk about how they only owned 360 and regret missing out. For that reason I think TLOU will definitely move some systems. A lot of people missed out on it last gen since PS3 wasn't the dominant console (especially in NA). Now that it's out on PS4, they can make the right choice and jump on that to experience the game. It'll definitely move systems.
Now, how many systems? Who knows, it obviously won't be a GT, but it should provide a boost and move people on the fence into buying a PS4.

That's not a valid comparison. Tomb Raider is like comparing Black Flag PS3 to Black Flag PS4. Same game, but different versions. What TLoU PS4 is doing is basically a TLoU 1.5 HD Remix. Tomb Raider was Tomb Raider with PS4 graphics, not uprezzed PS3 graphics.
It's both of them, but it's leaning more towards filling the gap!

I was agreeing with your post until the bolded part. Only?

exactly. it won't be a huge bump (maybe around 20k boost to ps4) but this is a big game for sony. it will push a move a few people to jump into next gen. there are millions of people just waiting for the gen 8 library to get a bit more robust before buying. when combined with killzone, infamous, watch dogs, tomb raider, and all those indie titles,... TLoU will be "the staw that broke the camels back" for a few people.
Mostly the latter, could also definitely be the former for many.
It's filler, but I imagine there are a lot of new PS4 owners that missed out on it. It's a for sure million seller.

Only may be an exaggeration, but so much push/hype was on Titanfall, that everything after that is pretty far away (in terms of exclusives). Kinect Sports Rivals? Meh. The big stuff is all the way out in Fall/Winter AFAIK, which should be a ludicrously fantastic time for all three (XB1/PS4/U).
