Current numbers from current generation (approx):
PS3: 14 m Market Share: 28%
360: 19 m Market Share: 38%
Wii: 28 m Market Share: 56%
Yes, there are rounding errors, but look at the percentages. Sony went from having 72% to having 28% on their current-gen console. Nintendo went from 13% to 56%. And MS went from 15% to 38%. The numbers will shift over time, but there just isn't reasonable math available to suggest the PS3 will come anywhere close to having 70% market share, and MS has more than doubled their market share, and by Christmas will likely have surpassed the LTD sales of the original Xbox.
This has to be considered a big win for MS and Nintendo, although I would not suggest that Sony has "lost" this generation... they've just fallen from a very high perch.
EDIT: corrected the PS3 percentage.

38+28+56 = 122%
WHAT!

LOL! I entered my base total incorrectly into my calculator. That has to be one of the WORST numeric mistakes in the history of these forums.  This is what I get for doing this while at work and trying to do 3 things at once.
Here are the REAL numbers:
PS3: 14 m Market Share: 23%
360: 19 m Market Share: 31%
Wii: 28 m Market Share: 46%
Total percentage = 100
So Sony went to a quarter of their previous share, and MS doubled theirs... happy? 
Why do I get the feeling my math is going to end up in someone's signature...

because you just gave people the idea!
