It's pretty clear from the article they are talking about Sony's total market share this gen not just the PS3.

In terms of total market share this prediction is probably pretty close. Considering the strength of the Wii and 360 it only makes sense that their share of the market is going to decrease.

So what does that mean?  PS2 sales since 360 came out + PS3 sales + PSP sales?  Even then it is hard to see how Sony could get anything even remotely close to 40% if you are counting it against Wii sales + DS sales + 360 sales. 

 

 

Using this formula, it does come close to 40% for Sony.

 

Sony	81,461,960	38.5%
Nintendo	108,600,469	51.3%
Microsoft	21,785,484	10.3%
