I might be completely wrong of course, but this is how I see it:

TLOUR (small boost because of July momentum)
Swapper (no boost)
Road Not Taken (no boost)
HoHokum (tiny boost)
Diablo (decent boost)
Plant V Zombies (small boost)
Infamous: Second Light (small boost)
Madden (small boost)
Metro Redux (decent boost)
Minecraft (decent boost)
Jet Car Stunts (no boost)

The thing about these busy months is that its not just individual titles that boost hardware but software in synegy. Essentially in months where there is a lot more to play and the system gets a lot more press through reviews etc, its bound to sell more. People wait for reasons to buy a system and Infamous and Watchdogs may not have quite been enough, but Infamous+ new DLC+ Watchdogs+ The Last of Us might finally equal a purchase for some.

I think the PS4 will probably do 250k-300k in August, mainly because of the Last of Us , madden and anticipation for Destiny. Regarding the latter, not everyone who wants it will want the white PS4, nor will they necessarily wait till its release when there are other games to catch up on (infamous, killzone, watchdogs)

yeah it's not like the bundle is the best deal either.  It's basically $10 off and white stuff.  If you like white I can see it and plenty of people will buy it I'm sure because they're waiting till Destiny anyway but I don't think it'll hurt PS4 sales in August.
