2013 is not even over, so for starters it's a flawed comparison when the biggest month of the year is missing from the data.
Then there's the fact that two of the consoles just launched so of course their sales are lower than in a regular year.
Even taking that into account, the PS home console numbers will end up well above 2012 numbers (as in, millions above) and the Xbox brand will end up above, too. The PS and Xbox brands combined (home consoles) will sell more this year than either 2012, 2011 or 2010. Next year their market will grow again and the difference will be much bigger.
The only brand in decline is Wii, of course since Wii brought a new market in, an overall decline is inevitable. But the traditional market doesn't seem to be shrinking looking at these numbers, far from it.
