This article is saying that Part 1 sold 6 million in one year, and Part 2 sold 10 million in 2 years. Bit odd that it's using such bizarre numbers, but I don't see how this isn't a success.

If you're talking all time, Part 1 came out 5 years sooner and it's the first in a sequence—it's always going to have those advantages.

When it released in summer 2013 for the PlayStation 3, it sold [6 million copies] within almost a full year after release. By 2018, two years before The Last of Us Part II, the first title sold [18 million copies] across the PS3 and its PlayStation 4 remaster.

As of June 2022, The Last of Us Part II for the PS4 reached [10 million copies] since its summer 2020 release.

Part I sold 18 mil. 6 mil the first year and 12 mil the next 4 year.

Part II sold 10 mil over 2 years.

Maybe you can find a more up-to-date sales figures but usually the second game out paces the first game.
