Let's do some math. 119k units divided by 5 weeks is ~24k units sold per week in September. This is a huge drop from the >30k units per week sold in August also given that PS3 had quite a number of big releases for the month.
October is a 4-week reporting period. The previous price drop boosting effect may have dropped altogether already but the price-cut on the 80GB model may boost it a bit. Perhaps 30k units per week?
But there's the new SKU coming out, but it will only enjoy 2 days of the October NPD reporting period. Let's say the PS3 gets a 50% boost on it's weekly rate on the last reporting week of October, that's (3 x 30k) + 45k = 135k units sold. 160k for October is a bit too high.
