I just started a thread called Lazy Journalists – The News is What They’re Spoon Fed about this very problem. If you actually read a lot of what passes for technology "news" it is actually press releases which they then print without even trying to correct the spin.
Xbox 360 sales surpass Wii, PS3
News to you wasn't it. Well this was Reuters Headline for May 15 about that ridiculous press release from Microsoft that they had won the console war becasue they were the first to reach 10M NA sales.
When a company talks about revenue, or gross sales and don't mention the bottom line, you can bet your bippy that it's a pretty good sign that the bottom line is bad.
