That's an interesting spin on things. "Our current gen offerings are flopping compared to others, so we will lump all of our hardware combined, handhelds, home consoles, this gen, last gen, lump 'em all in! Now our numbers look good :)" Said by Sony executives.

It is spin because the comparison is based on samples that are no where near similar. Their statement is true, but it is spot on for the definition of "spin" to make something appear much more positive than it actually is.

Should Microsoft include all Kinects sold as "console hardware" or stretch the definition even farther to include other controllers and peripherals as "console hardware" to spin it even farther???
