Week 41? Or 40?  The NoA tweet says they sold 10M "in 9 months" which would be at the end of November.  Week 40 lines up as the week ending Dec 2, so I believe they hit 10M by that point.  This would then make the PS4 lead ~100K at week 40.

Can't really take anything exact, not 9 months, and not exactly 10m either. As when sony released their 70.6m figure it was for sales 4 days prior to the announcement (3rd december, announced 7th december), so we could assume the Nintendo announcement follows a similar delay in reporting sales, putting the 10m figure at December 8th, or around Week 41.

It'd be a hell of a lot easier if Nintendo just said "As of Xth December."

I read that the 10 million Nintendo Switches is indeed sell-through (not shipped), and this was specifically achieved on December 10th.

Also, Nintendo plans to push Japan hard this month (December), so sales will be even higher as we know demand there is constant sellout since launch.

So Switch will pass the PS4 either week 42 or week 43 depending on how big the December spike ends up being.
