for ps3, which is about 400k, sales should drop of by 230k

"we dont know how many ps3 will sell at OTHERS in january because its never been out january."

But we do know what happenned after it was launched in Europe and other places in March.  It dropped.   http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS3&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=America&cons3=PS3&reg3=Total+Other&weeks=85&weekly=1

So, I think your Other maybe optomistic.  But your America estimate could be too low.  While it's hard to know from last Christmas, because there were reports of PS3 having shortage in some areas (hard to believe now, isn't it), it didn't drop off that much the week after xmas.  And don't forget, the 24th was in this week's sales.  Japan should go up, maybe not to 80K, but higher.

Overall, I think Leo will be very close for PS3 with this week's sales of 400k.  But then for January...  don't expect it to continue at this rate.  January, and even more so Febuary, will definitely be a harbinger of 2008 if sales go down as much as they did in 2007.
