I agree with many posters in that people are jumping the gun. The Japan and Others numbers are not in, and those only help the PS3. That means posters are handicapping the PS3. I would wager that this week will actually see a increase in the margin barring any adjustment to total sales data. Which I suspect did happen after this post was made.
The PS3 actually had a boost in sales this week in North America, and a key title is still moving some hardware in Japan based on early projections. So unless the Others region saw a dramatic fall in sales the margin will have increased by thousands of units. Perhaps the margin will increase to 50,000 units. Given that the Wii sales are sliding, and that Sony has seen some increases.
I would highly recommend that some posters think long and hard about what they are posting. Other posters will copy paste that and use it against you in the future. Right now Nintendo has to seriously increase sales in North Americas. Sony must also see a reasonable drop in sales to see this possibility ever come to pass. Nintendo might end up just getting close. Sony doesn't have to beat down on Nintendo to win this foot race. They just have to string it out past September. Once that happens. Nintendo will have to achieve complete market dominance for this statistic to come to pass.
I will stick to my prediction wait towards the end of September. Perhaps Microsoft is the dark horse that is going to decide this race. All of it depends on how many sales they can take from Sony.
