Yeah I don't remember another remaster/remake selling this well tbh. The God of War Collection didn't even start out that hot.

Did i hear "Remakes"? :P Pokemon Remakes FTW, FF remakes sell pretty good too, LoZ OoT 3D sold 3mil+ and SM64 DS sold 10mil+
WW HD had alot of digital sales so its hard to pinpoint FW (digital came out earlier than retail) LoZ WW HD also should easily be over 1.5mil by now.

Also these will sell 7mil-9mil lifetime

And it launched with ~550K across it's 2 week launch period. So TLOUR a better launch week. And SM64DS also had a lower launch week than TLOUR. And in both these cases the gap between original and remake is a helluva lot longer than 1 year.
Digital sales for TLOUR might be substantial too. We can't measure the relative numbers of digital sales so might as well leave them out for the purposes of talkiing about available data on sales, albeit the data we have on hard copy sales has a wide margin for error. In any case lifetime sales is not the basis for my comment. It was that someone said TLOUR week 1 sales are not amazing, when in fact all indications point to it being among the best first week sales for a remake/remaster. So best, or close to best sales for a Remake/remaster only 1 year after the original does actually qualify for amazing, especially considering all the angst it go for being unnecessary and unwanted.
