I can't speak to the iOS and Android numbers, but they are significantly off on the Windows Phone numbers.

MSFT just announced their WP downloads stand at 2 billion (a significant delta from the 0.65 billion estimated here) As for units sold, Nokia alone has sold 20 million Windows Phones or so, and there is another 20% of non-Nokia WP phones on top of that.

Nokia forms the majority of WP sales and boosters are the cheaper models like 520/21. A good quarter of the sales are pre-WP8 models.

Finally, Nokia sales in North America and US, is lagging behind other continents. That's maybe from an app sales perspective Nokia doesnot make a lot of bang!.

US is mainly an AppleLand, and app store app sales get huge boost from having a big portion of iPhone/iPad subscribers here.
