Well, he was hardly going to focus on 360 being down YOY despite all the deals, etc. nor how PS3 has been steadily selling better since the price cut.
It's all about market perception, and he wants to spread the feeling that PS3 spike was temporary and that everything's back to normal 360 dominance over PS3 in US. From his point of view, the more that's accepted the more its likely to become fact. There's no denying a great performance for 360 vs it's more recent trends, and MS did well to attach so tightly to MW2, but PS3 did super well to considering its position in US, but his job is to diminish any Sony results and inflate perception of MS results.
No doubt Sony will soon enough be pointing out they had YOY growth vs 360 YOY drop, etc. etc. and seeing how they can put down 360 performance a bit.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
