A boost for a multi-plat game?

No, I don't think so.

We don't have any data for the previous Soul Caliburs, so I'd hesitate to whether I'd call it's opening on PS3 "poor" or not.

Edit - Soul Calibur did 71k in it's first week on the PS2 When it launched in March 2003 to a userbase of 12 million in the region of Japan, so 56k on a userbase 1/5th of the size when it launched on the PS2 seems fine to me.

Wow if only trends were that easy to compare we could all sound great.

Seriously when are people going to start understanding how irrelevant userbase can become when its a big brand title in an opening week.

 

So how much, praytell, did you expect Soul Calibur 4 to sell? More or less than Soul Calibur on the PS2? Also this came out on both platroms, so it sold 91k in it's first week in actuality.

 

Not too much but I can understand that a title can sell 100k on an opening week on a platform with 10 million userbase and one with a 2 million userbase due to brand.... which apparently seems to surprised the rest.
