You have to consider that some of the hardware sold was to previous customers. About 400,000 units above the previous week. Lets say half of those were old owners, so 200,000 new PS3 owners on average bought 1 game (200,000) which happens to be the bump in software from the previous week.

Obviously this is a weak guestimate.

ioi said 30-40% only in Japan and has been attacked by a lot of people, you now say 50% worldwide. Prepare for a lot of criticism against you! 15-20% worldwide sound right to me.

Did you read the part where I said it was a weak guestimate? Its a baseline. You could read my guess as a worse case scenario, ioi's estimate as maybe a mid to best case scenario (despite what people hope, there _were_ people who traded in their fats for slims).

I agree with you (not on the numbers but as you said it's just an estimate, like mine), but there's a lot of people who think that no one old PS3 owner would buy the Slim because it has not BC, only 2 USBs and so on, while we know that the Slim model is a way in which sony sells HW to both new customers and old customers, not like the Arcade--> Pro--> Elite does (maybe that works just for a small percentage of customers).
