I think the fact that Persona 4 the golden sold as much as the original is an indication that the IP is bigger then before.

Being ps3/ps4 multiplat dosn't mean it won't boost ps4,Dragon quest here is cross-gen yet it boosted ps4 because it had a bundle

Yes, it boosted it a little. I didn't say it won't boost the PS4 at all, but certainly its not going to convince many people to spend $400 on a new console when they can play the same game on their older console. Persona 4 is nowhere near as large of a series as Dragon Quest in brand appeal and icon. Expect any bundle boost to be less. Also consider than Dragon Quest wasn't the only big release for PS4 in the weeks PS4 was boosted above its baseline. 

What kind of boost you expect from Persona 5

An average of +15k for five weeks or a total of 15 * 5 = +75k. Slightly less than what I would've expeced for the DQ:Heroes boost if we eliminated the boosts from the release of other titles like Bloodborne, Yakuza, and Final Fantasy.
