Infamous: Second Son

PS4 hardware leaps 106% after Infamous launch

Report: Second Son releases leads to bump in sales.

It has been reported that sales for {Infamous: Second Son} have, in turn, boosted sales of PlayStation 4 hardware by as much as 106% since the game was released.

MCV are reporting that a trusted source has revealed the figures, and compares these figures to those achieved by {Titanfall} and Xbox One hardware (which, in the week of the game's launch, saw an increase of 96%).

Given that we're offered percentages and no hard numbers - what the consoles were selling the week before as compared to what they sold following the launch of their key titles - it's actually hard to draw anything conclusive from this report. Other than, of course, both exclusives helped boost sales for their respective platforms.

What we do know for sure is that {Infamous: Second Son} has sold a lot of copies since its release, and came top of the UK multi-format sales charts this week (finishing ahead of {Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes} in the process).
