Not really. It's unlikely that the PS3 will catch up to the 3DS' numbers come August, even if it isn't adjusted down, and August we have NSMB2. So the gap will grow by a good 2-3million before we even hit the holiday season, where it'll pull out another million or two. Even more if MH4 is released. Come year's end, the PS3 will likely hit 11-12mil, and the 3DS 15-16mil. And the PSV on 5-6mil, for reference.
