OMG I never thought of that. Thank you captain obvious. What a blessing having you in VGC! 
OP: The PS3 is selling on par or slightlt below last years numbers after the pricecut, so the answer is:
a) The Wii is WAY down. No games, no pricecuts, nothing appealing, saturation. Lost it's 1st spot.
b) The DS is WAY down. Successor is out, not as many games as last year.
c) The 3DS is not selling that much, due to price point and lack of games.
d) The 360, despite being up, it is not by such a margin that it can take the lead, the Kinect effect was useful but not a revolution. In mainland Europe the Kinect effect was negligible and PS3 has simply become the more popular console by far.
e) The PS3 was able to maintain sales for a long time after the pricecut due to constantly releasing exclusives and brand power.
In conclusion. All Nintendo consoles are down while the 360 is not sufficiently up. The PS3 did a good job maintaining sales, so it's 1st. It's not because the PS3 is suddenly mega-popular, but it remained popular while the other didn't. As others have said, it won kind of by default.
