"...the same way Nintendo remasters games."

This adds nothing for me personally because I have a PS3, but if they are hoping to create sequels to games that people new to PS this generation haven't played due to not having a PS3, then this is a good way to go about it.  Get people to play the initial titles in a remastered format, and then increase sequel sales.

I guess now that they have a comfortable lead this generation they feel they don't need to try as hard.

Except those Disney remastered movies are decades old whereas some remastered PS3 games are just a few years old.

I think if Nintendo remastered that super Mario galaxy game then will have the same comments? Nope.

I fail to see how this equates to "not trying as hard". Pls explain.

I thought I had just gotten accustomed to this stance early having been a Vita owner but now even Sony's higher ups are calling out the core home console gaming demographic with comments like I don't understand those people, they will roll their eyes.  

The funny thing is following that strategy will kill Paystation.  Cutting out the smaller titles from retail simply wont give Playstation consoles the appearnance of a software library with variety. It also makes software discovery a huge problem for anyone who doesn't already own the machine.  Vita is the living embodiment of that strategy but that rot will kill a home console too.   It just might take a little longer.  

I will probably be lost in the shuffle here but this is kind of the way the industry has to head to fill gaps since its becoming harder and harder to turn a profit on titles(therefore you see less titles). TLOU made its money well over but Sony knows that PS4 owners will buy/rebuy(which is where the majority of the sales will come from) this game due to lack of games to play. This helps fund other games that may not be as successful/turn a profit.

The "AAA" model of gaming isnt sustainable as it creates too many losses. Last gen was sustainable for 3rd parties as companies could take money from low risk/high profit Wii titles(dance party!) and deal with the losses of their AAA efforts. Now there is no cash cow to milk they cant release as many titles throughout the year and Sony/MS+3rd parties cant make the massive libraries they have in the past.

I dont like efforts like TR:DE/TLOU:R/GTA5 because it makes companies feel secure about releasing more and more cheap ports of last gen. I would rather have no game come out instead of filling gaps with cheap rehashes. People will vote with their dollar and I feel TLOU/GTA and Halo collection(though it is not nearly as bad of a deal) will do great, selling millions showing companies that what we really want this gen is slightly better looking versions of last gen games.

bolded: Completely false

Also you don't seriously believe that the thing that killed the Vita were the missing smaller retail titles? What killed the Vita was a lack of appeal from the start bundled with a lack of support from first and third party developers. Both things that, even if people want to paint that picture at least regarding first party support, the PS4 does not lack.
