Gott a love dat spin. Notice they never once said it was the biggest launch of the year or sold more than the first game.  Its all prefaced or followed by qualifiers with vague meanings.

They did? "as the #1 console gaming launch week of the year to date". I guess they did preface it with "console", but i'm not aware of any PC games having thus far claimed that spot (though correct me if I've just missed it.

My point was with Destiny they straight up said they're game had the best launch of any game that year and so on.  Very clear cut stuff.

Here it's all wrapped in qualifiers.  Do they mean biggest in concurrent engagement?  Biggest on all consoles?  Just PS4?  I just find it funny that they can never just say, "our game sold really, really well!"  No, that would never do.  They gotta make every launch sound like some peerless achievement.  It reminds me of some of the non-statistic records that get brought up in arguments over which athlete is the greatest.  Like, most 3 pointers made in a ten game span by a point guard.  Or most winners per game in the quarterfinals of Masters 1000 tournaments across two years.  Stuff like that.
