only the same % boost as titanfall.

...am i wrong to be disappointed?

Nah, as others have alluded to in earlier posts.  The boost isn't necessarily due to Infamous, the boost is because Sony made sure stock was available for the Infamous launch.  Now, did people go out and get PS4's specifically for Infamous?  Or was it just an opportune time for people who want to get PS4's, to get them?  That's kinda the question, and not really answerable...in fact, I don't think it'll be easy to tell demand for any PS4 game until supply catches up to demand.

Wouldn't software sales be the best indicator of a games demand? It's always hard to tell how much a game moves a console unless there are no other variables (supply, bundles, pricecuts, sales, ect.)

Well, caveat, I'm no expert, I'm just guessing so take it with a grain of salt.

The software sales should definitely help paint the picture, but because so many people are looking for PS4's right now, it's entirely plausible that some folks were forced to buy the SS Bundle, for lack of standalone hardware availability.  Ergo, whenever stock of the PS4 comes in, whether it's bundle or not, the hardware will sell out until demand is met.  That make any sense?
