Because it helps perpetuate that America are the centre of the universe and anything outside of America doesn't count. Sony won November but XB1 won NPD. So, because America are perceived as the centre of the universe, people believe the XB1 closed the gap. It was the reason all through last gen many people on other websites couldn't understand how the PS3 was catching up even though it was getting outsold by the centre of the universe.

Given the fact that the US slices Asia in halve to stand in the middle of the world map says enough. But I got to give them credit because the US is the biggest and more important most exciting market 

To be fair to 'em, every country puts themselves in the centre of the world map.

There can only be one logical conclusion of the centre of the world.

Think of national holidays.

Who celebrates independance day? Just the USA

Bastille Day? Just France. Fiesta Nacional de España? Just Spain

...

St Patricks Day? Every country celebrates the true centre of the world!
