Not exactly, they said it was growing faster. I.e., if the PS3 had only sold 1 system until now, and then sold another yesterday they could say that it was currently doubling daily. Even though I'm sure the PS2 was selling more than 1 console a day at that point, it probably was not doubling daily.
*DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying the PS3 is doing poorly, so don't flame me. I'm just trying to explain why what he said may be true even though the PS3 is currently slightly behind the PS2 in terms of time frames.*
