Not a good point at all. There's a difference between fluff like "5 Bajillion hours on xbox live!" which is used to hide sales.

And then the PR sony put out "We had the biggest Black Friday in PlayStation history. We sold more consoles than we ever have in our 22-year history, "

That is not PR to hide bad sales.

It's actually textbook  pr spin. They said the same thing the year before but ended up having the worst November  npd in years, down about 40% from 2015. If Microsoft would have came out and released a pr and said ' xb1x launch week was the best selling week for Xbox since xb1 launch' this would be pr spin no matter how true it is (is 100% true in the U.K.). Sonys statement makes it sound like it destroyed all the competition, without actually saying they did. 

 

For the record cord I have no problem with them saying it, good for them. And I still expect them to win npd but I believe it will be close.

Where did Sony in that statement say they had the biggest Black Friday in the US!?!? cuz as far i know NPD is for the US, but the sentence doenst say anything about the US and maybe you have been living under the rock, but Black Friday isnt US-Exclusive. I dont know what they exactly said last year, but just because last years November NPD was worse than before that year, doesnt mean they still didnt had their best Black Friday ever, if Europe/Rest of The World made up for it and it seems like this is the case this time as well.

And for the second part, thats what YOU get out of the statement, they are just saying they had their biggest Black Friday in Playstation History. And yeah you say "without actually saying they did" because they never said that, thats just what YOU get out of it.

And personally i think Xbox will win, but that doesnt mean that Sony cant have their best Black Friday ever because the World = not America only.
