I see your point and it makes sense, but wouldn't you rather be glad your team won anything than nothing at all? Even if some people see this as a tiny victory for Xbox, then why do people feel the need to downplay it so much. At least let the Xbox fans enjoy their "tiny win". 

No because its not a win.  I played hockey and fought in muay thai.  Maybe im to old school for todays let all be friends and happy and pretand we didnt lose and not even keep score but in my day such crap did not exist.  Its a win or its not.

To win is to achive victory, xbox is still down in US so that is why i see no win.  Thast just me.  Win would be xbox passing PS4 in sales even in a single market, a meaningless win but that would be a legitamate win.

Either or, my earlier point still stands.   Some see the big picture.  

Taking a combat sports analogy. If this is a 5 round fight (5 year generation) and each year is a round, then PS4 is winning the 2nd round so far after the first minute, but Xb one threw in a couple of good punches just before the second minute started (i.e. it won April NPD). PS4 won round 1, but Xb one came back strongly in the final minute of that round. PS4 also won the pre-fight shit slinging match.
