There are probably quite a few people who were holding off on buying a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player until either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD became the clear winner; as a result of Blu-Ray winning and the PS3 being the least expensive Blu-Ray player many of these people may have rushed out and bought a PS3 because HD-DVD (effectively) died.
Because these people were "waiting" the boost in sales the PS3 has seen will only last a short period of time and then return to a similar (although somewhat higher) level to what it was selling before HD-DVD (effectively) died; basically you will see a similar pattern to the effect of most price cuts.
