Simple fact that Sony brought in a lot of stock to co-inside with inFamous

you can always tell the lhe guys who have been here a while. We know how the patterns work and a large increase for a soldout console has nothing to do with a game that was released but rather unmet depand.

 

Best example I can think off. When SSBB came out in 08 the Wii had a large increase is sales. But, it had little to do with SSBB and more to do with the fact it was soild out and nintendo shipped more Wiiis to coincide w/ SSBB,

 

This is an interesting parrallel. Titanfall cleary sold some XB1s (we will never know how many, some bought an XB1 for TF before it came out, some may tet buy an XB1 for the TF) we will never know if Infamous is a system seller because we dont know if sales now are unmet demand or increased demand for InSS.

True, but for marketing purposes it's good for Sony anyway, depending on its needs it will be able to spin it in favour of Infamous or of PS4 HW sales unrelated to it. Insteead we should ask ourselves if we're awake or asleep, lately Sony is making too few marketing mistakes!
