Shams I was under the impression that the price cut came in the second week of July which is why I added up the first 2 weeks without the boost. I also rounded 98 to 100 close enough Sony is not going to say 136% increase it would only be an estimate so I estimate 20K a week sales. I am also not sure if they meant 135% since the price cut or 135% for the whole month. IF what they mean by month is the whole NPD period which would be ~235K or if it is by the weekly average which would be ~188K if every week was for teh price cu. Or like what you have a 135% increase for 1 week and a decreasing percentage increase for the rest of the month.

I think it is safe to say it will be between 150K-240K for the US next month.

You may well be right. Was there a week of tracked July without the price cut?

Regardless - I'll put my figure as a "upper" limit. I was being pretty generous on the falloff rate.

I can't see it selling more than 160k for the month - probably closer to 130k (especially if one tracked week had no price cut).
