Torne sold 62,000 units during its first week. The standalone accounted for 75% of sales, while the digi recorder pack took up the remaining 25%. PS3 hardware sales increased 69.5% from the previous week to 45,000 units.

Woah, excellent hardware sales!  PS3 may actually be ahead of DS and PSP even this week!

Also, given the bundled Torne sales (~15,500) it's looks like it's basically entirely responsible for PS3's hardware boost... Y4 did almost nothing. :/

Assuming the 45K is correct and 25% of 62K for the Torne bundle is correct: 45K-15.5K = 29.5K. 29.5K-26.5K (last week's J number) = 3K. 3K = +11% boost over previous week. For the most part sequels to existing franchises on a console give HW boosts of 10-15%. So the non-Torne related boost of 11% should probably be seen as reasonable for Y4 launch week; or at least not passed off as almost nothing.
