Just a point to understand, from what I saw of some research a while ago. 3% of console owners own 2 consoles and 2% of console owners own all 3. So 95% of console owners own just one.

So essentially 95% of those extra 100,000 customers were upgrading from either a PS2 or Xbox?

Well given MikeB declared that 90% of all Xbox 360 owners are Xbox upgraders, many sequels to original Xbox titles arn't out until later this year, and the price is still very high, I think it's safe to say a huge percentage of those 100,000 people, not to mention loads of the other 160,000 people that bought the Xbox 360 last week, are PS2 upgraders.

 

Read edit: I meant current gen owners.
