There are definitely a few things misleading, such as:

"360 shipments also fell 33% year over year as buyers shifted their attention to the newer Nintendo Wii and PS3."
He makes it seem as if the shipments fell year over year because buyers shifted their attention to the new consoles, but in reality it was just because there were still many 360s left over from the holidays. He doesn't mention that the number of 360s bought by consumers actually increased year over year. Very misleading.

"the PS3 has also eclipsed 360 unit sales as it enters its second year"
This is not true. The PS3 is still almost 7 million units behind the 360 in units sold. He never mentions that it is only when the launches are lined up that the PS3 is selling better, but that is what they graph shows. Again, misleading.
