Maybe the legs will continue, but if it's selling 17k this week, then one could only surmise that by November, it will be selling <10,000 units, since it's yet to increase sales on a given week. It dropped from 37k/wk to 27k/wk between weeks #6 and #10, then another 10,000 between week #10 and week #14. That is good legs, but has yet to produce a solid trend to say it'll continue selling well 2 months from now. The caveat is the PS3Slim launch, but if trends do continue, it's going to continue dropping. Only someone that doesn't look at VGChartz data could argue otherwise.

Why do people always ignore the holiday boost? Even Metal Gear Solid 4, a game with an insane opening week and almost no legs to stand on recieved a boost over the '08 holidays, going from 18k a week all the way up to 40k.
Around late October or so, InFamous' declining sales trend will likely reverse. Possibly sooner.
