It was crazzyman's legendary thread to which you are referring. And the reason people "whined" was because of his reasoning for "second" years. He lumped a mere 12 or 13 months(over the three regions) of sales for PS2 as a single year and compared it to ~31 months of PS3 for it's first year. Thus it was trying to compare PS2 in a year when it was still heavily supply contrained and barely launched in two territories as it's second year, to a PS3 which had no supply issues, already recieved a price cut, and had plenty of time for developers to get software out. Additionally, PS3 isn't tracking close to PS2 in any region at the moment.

Shouldn't the same logic apply here?
Anyway, let's agree that you win so we can use lifetime sales numbers instead.
Leading console has sold:
-90 million more than last gen leading console.
Second place console has sold:
+6 million more than last gen second place console.
Third place console has sold:
-0.12m more than last gen third place console.
Wtf?! 360 is the only console which has expanded the market?! PS3 will follow soon... but...
the leading console... no way, -90 million? Can't be.
Edit:
