Yes.  Pointing out after being beaten for 7 out of 12 months that if you take a carefully curated view of only 6 of those 12 months that you won (ish) is in fact damage control.

Edit: Changed to 7 because didn't they win April or something?

So winning 1/2 the year is damage control? Why do people always assume it's damage control, when they stated it was up YOY and win the last 6 months of the year. It just means the holiday season was on a knife edge, and the PS4 barely won.

You like Ms really are quite good at this.

So somehow, from the total 4 months in the tail end of the year that MS won they were able to be ahead of the PS4 for the last six months of the year. Which for all we know is like what? 20-100k ahead? Thats great.

Especially when you ignoe that if you look at the whole of 2016 (like what MS should really be doing) the PS4 handily won the year. 

lets see.... jan ps4 won by 97k

feb by 152k

mar by 89k

apr, may and june were all by under 50k.

Yes, this is classical MS spin, specifically by cherry picking the one part of the year they did well in. And further more by painting it in a way that makes it look good while ignoring certain things.
