I had the hardware number pegged at exactly 300,000 for 360. I may be a bit high, but in my official, saved predictions with specific monthly numbers, I did have 360 beating PS3 in July, despite the 60 gig price drop.
Basically, I think Madden/Bioshock + first price point under $300 can equal a boost from 42k NPD USA weeks in July to 75k NPD USA weeks in August. Not quite a 2x boost directly, but I think even at the previous price points, 360 would have done ~50-60k in August, meaning that to me, it is more like 25-50% boost vs. what I would have expected weekly sales to be because of the season...
