Does it? My friend seems to insist so, but I tell him it's truw only if they are downloading something. Surely browsing the internet can't create lag or lower bar on gaming console right? If so, can anyone go into detail as to why it doesn't or does create lag?

Video steaming can cause lag youtube etc, also the number of the users connected to your network at the same time, but if you have a high speed connection if should not affect you.

A lot depends on multiple factors, like how many people are using it, speed of the internet, game your playing, the network you have setup-i.e. length and quality of cables, and of the router, etc.

Primary system: Motherboard: ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 945, Memory: 16 gigs of Patriot G2 DDR3 1600, Video: ASUS ATI 4890 and a Saphire 4890 in Crossfire, Storage: 1 WD 500 gig HD, 1 Hitachi 500 gig HD, and Power supply: Coolermaster 750 watt, OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
Media Center: Motherboard: Gigabyte mp61p-S3, Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+, Memory: 6 gigs Patriot DDR2 800, Video: Gigabyte 4550, Storage: 500 gig Hitachi, PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty 550 watt modular PSU, OS: Windows 7 Ultimate.

If there is only 1-2 people using computers or laptops on the same network just browsing basic php,javascript and html web pages like bleepingcomputer for example then there should be no lag. Then again if they are all watching videos on a site like youtube or downloading a file bigger than 512mb then you may experience little bit of bad connection or lag..
