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.

Without the 3DS, sony would have alot more market share. Nintendo and sony would probably be similiar when it comes to marketshare

I don't get your point... the 3DS is a product that will keep selling.

Unlike the PSP, which is falling off.

If the 3DS was not out yet, Nintendo's sales would not be as high. I don't think the DS would be selling like that, if the 3DS still was not out yet. The 3DS takes up alot of marketshare on it's own, taking over HALF of consoles sold in japan, according to your graph. So the market would be alot smaller without the 3DS
