I would bet about 10x more. Why? Because 3am PST is only a very very few amount of people able to even log in there.
You'd be wrong, best thing to do to judge offpeak vs peak time player bases is look at the only game that actually publishers it's hourly numbers, EvE Online.

www.eveonline.com

As you can see from the server graph, the offpeak vs peak time difference is only around 2 ~ 2.5x. So if there is 1000 peak players then there are around 400~500 off peak players. (at a guess from currently playing the game I reckon it's around 300 peak vs 120 offpeak due to everyone waiting for some content/fixes)

This also correlates with census data from WoW before the oceanic servers were added which also showed the peak vs offpeak data was again around 2.5x.
