Using logic Kwaad might be right. Sony is the largest electronics manufactureres in the world. They are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Added to their stature they are contracting manufacturing of the PS3 to other factories.
What do the numbers say? In 2006 MS revenue was 44 billion while sony's was 68 billion. I would probably go out on the limb here to say, maybe they can achieve these numbers.
So you really believe that Sony can outproduce Nintendo for the rest of the year? So far the oposite is true. Production will not be a major issue for either company, and if demand were expected to be 2 million/month for the rest of the year Nintendo would find a way to make as many units. The only reason they didn't ramp up production for launch is because they realized it would be ridiculous so have 2million/mo capacity when sales of that magnitude couldn't last for more than a few months. It would be a wasted investment. I highly doubt Nintendo (or Sony or Microsoft) will ever produce much more than 1 million consoles a month or ever need to.
Lifetime Sales Prediction - 6/29/2013
Wii U - 38 million
XBOX One - 88 million
Playstation 4 - 145 million
