You can. You can argue that it's not a fair comparison without Sony having launched in Japan, but you could also argue that it isn't a fair comparison if you take out the 3DS's best market. Basically, comparing 3DS sales to PS4 without including Japan would be like comparing PS3 to 360 sales without Europe. It significantly skews the results.
But, at any rate, sales aren't about arbitrary bragging rights, but about getting machines into people's hands, creating a market, and generating money so that companies can survive. So, regardless of the PS4's availability, the 3DS is building its install base more at the moment which is really what matters.
