What spin?

MS has plenty of reason to be proud of what they've accomplished this year.

Sony has TWO models. Let me retierate that since it gets glossed over. TWO models. Going against a ONE model system they were previously dominating. 

If Sony didn't have PS4 Pro, even though it didn't appear to help that much, they probably would have lost this holiday season period. 

"XBox was the only system that was up year over year (meaning Sony was down over last year even with PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim and $250 PS4) and overall outsold the PS4 for the second half of the year (after XBOne S was launched). 

That's impressive for Microsoft." - Spin, doesn't take into account what the differences in the two years was when making the comparison.

"meanwhile Sony is somewho down year over year despite having a new model and revision and a $250 promotion. "  - Spin.  Same reason as the first quote.

"If they are down, clearly something is happening and it looks like that "something" is that XBox One is becoming far more competetive, taking away sales from the PS4, because there's no way the PS4 should be down this year with all that going for it. " - Spin and conjecture, again not taking the previous year into account and assuming that the XB1 is the only reason why they would ever be down.

One model almost outselling two models ... is that spin? Especially when that one model was previously getting dominated? 

Sony loses his holiday season without the two models, it looks to me like they needed all the help they could get beating MS. No one was expecting XBox One S to be this competetive aside from a few people.
