I agree with you. Also, I think I need to add to that the carriers the new WP7 phones came out on: AT&T and T-Mobile. AT&T has the iPhone and T-Mobile has the MyTouch 4G as their flagship phones. Moreover, until there are as many WP7 phone models as there are Android models, you can't really make a comparison between X number of total Android phones sold and Y number of total WP7 phones sold. That's apples and oranges. If you chose the same number of Android and WP7 phones and then compared their sales, I would guess that they'll be closer than the bogus numbers reported in the summary, especially since every major carrier has at least one Android phone and most have double digits.
I also think comparisons to the iPhone are overrated too. Yes, the comparison will be made, but Apple has really put all its eggs in one basket on purpose, while Microsoft, Blackberry, and Google have diversified their lineups and a single phone from any of those lineups is not designed to be all things to all people. So the fairness of the comparison is at least debatable. On top of that Apple was essentially first to the game and now has a huge base locked into their product and its easier to continue your wireless phone contract than break it and much easier to stick with the same smartphone OS. Which is at least part of the reason we see such "huge" iPhone sales every time a new one is released
