The game was a commercial success so a sequel is practically a given just from a pure financial sense
Usually yes, but Naughty Dog proved over and over again they can put out something new and it's still going to be a huge success. Like the first Last of Us most recently. So letting them decide for themselves might be just as viable as ordering them to do a sequel. So far everything they created has been made at least a trilogy of course, so who knows. We'll have to wait and see.
And yeah, the first Last of Us was developed for quite a while in secret, which is why I'm having a hard time believing they're not already working on something. I think TLOU 2 at E3 2016 woudn't be a bad bet.
