I never once made a flawed assumption.  I think perhaps if you go back through this thread I never once claimed I was specifying just the first 4 months.  I never even specified "decline", I said OR mostly flat, which again is not a wrong assumption.

It seems some people just came in here to attack 360 and try to defend PS3.

Okay, let's see.

Here you make the wrong assumption that I am not aware of what I am looking at, followed by assuming that the PS3 already had its best year in the USA. An assumption that nobody in this thread shares, because an incoming price cut is very likely.

Here you assume that VGC numbers are a way to verify stats that were derived from NPD numbers. VGC doesn't adjust its number to perfectly mimic NPD.

Here you assume that you need May NPD numbers to verify yoy growth concerning the first four months of the year (May is the fifth month) and once again that VGC numbers have relevance.

Here you assume that you never made a flawed assumption in this thread which is a flawed assumption in and of itself. You go on to assume that you can save your butt by saying that you never specified "just the first four months", but that doesn't matter. Microsoft specified it and in the post of mine you initially quoted, you specifically replied to exactly that part. Microsoft said that the PS3 has seen yoy growth. They didn't say flat nor did they talk about a decline. They said growth. Nobody came in here to attack the 360 and defend the PS3 which is yet another flawed assumption.

Finally, here you take issue that Microsoft considers an increase in PS3 sales of 9 % yoy growth. That's possibly not a wrong assumption per se, but given your previous post the tone in this current one suggests that you are a little bit upset based on the flawed assumption that some people in here attacked the 360 and tried to defend the PS3.

This all really just seems like you are taking the completely wrong assumptions from what I posted. It happens.
You are ASSUMING that those are the things I was assuming, which is not the case.

I still don't understand the harsh defensive tone, either.  People are right, you can't have a good thread in MS section anymore without being flooded by opposition from others.
