I don't doubt Infamous' potential to sell units, but I doubt it'll be a system seller.  I don't believe it's ever been a strong PlayStation system seller in the past is why. 

Destiny and Titanfall will likely be strong system sellers. 

BS, there is no such thing as a system seller it is a BS term, no one game consistently sellls systems you just get a spike for 1-3 weeks.  Libraries, brand sells systems.

No one said consistently. 

The general definition of a system seller is a game that inspires a consumer to purchase a console because of or for the game specifically.  A game that is a system seller causes a spike that in console sales that is inconsistent with normal sales trends when the game is released.

For example, if Rockstar releases a Red Dead game in July and console sales increase significantly over and above the normal trend, the game is considered a system seller.
