Games can sell alot on software, but not move hardware. Why would you say a sports game would increase PS4 hardware sales?

Do you forget that the casual market exists?  There is an entire segment of people who buy video game systems SOLELY to play sports games.  A lot of those people will have bought a new PS4 to play the new baseball game.  Next year, the same thing will happen with a new group of casual sports gamers.  It's why you see hardware upticks around Madden, MLB, and FIFA.

Really? Alright then, so when Madden 16 launched, XB1 sales increased 56% for one week, and 14% for the PS4 WW. That was 1 week, after that MGS V launched, PS4 sales increased again, while the XB1 went down. FIFA allowed for a 27% increase in PS4 sales that week, and 14% for the XB1. And that was a week, in which after it tapered off. So yes, it allows for 1 week spikes, and then goes back down. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
