A survey conducted on a such short period of time is meaningless, especially with no big releases on Sony's systems. I look forward the same survey the week Tales of Xillia 2 releases.

If marketshare was calculated year to date it would still be heavily skewed toward Nintendo.  Of course, if you cherrypick one specific week when Xillia 2 releases, like the week in question here, the graph would skew in Sony's direction a bit.  The best metric is YTD and Nintendo would surely have the majority of the market.

Well, being VGchartz it's easy enough to check.  PSP should help out Sony a lot on the YTD though being a bit of a confounding variable looking foward.

Platform	Yearly (change)	Total
3DS	2,851,225	(-34%)
PS3	737,672	(-52%)
PSP	524,354	(-74%)
PSV	432,390	(-1%)
Wii	355,170	(-59%)
DS	53,386	(-92%)
X360	42,202	(-63%)

Total	4,996,399	(-50%)

Nintendo marketshare for the Year - 65.2%

Sony Market Share - 33.9%

So, yeah, pretty heavy in Nintendo's favor, and not looking great for Sony considering the PSV doesn't seem to quite be the PSP to put it gently.
