I'd expect that. Besides the added press, the Sony reader is a lot more visible on the Amazon site than it is in many bookstores (remember, not all of them carry Sony readers), and its looks alone are probably a big help to sales when compared to the Kindle. (I also wouldn't be surprised to discover that some readers didn't know the difference between Amazon's system and Sony's, and think that the Sony readers will give them access to Amazon content, and better looking besides.)
