yh, what Teenbat said. The fanbase and sales may have been huge before, but most of those people weren't hardcore fans so after an 8 year hiatus they had no idea the series was returning. Even today I still find people being shocked that there's a movie and new game. Sony really should have taken the risk and advertised it... oh well, I bet the plan is for the movie to determine if there will be a Sly 5, etc..
