We need the actuals figures to be sure but the statistics seem reasonable.

It's all percentages. You can spin them anyway you want if you have the data to back them and i'll bet the data they used does indeed show the percentages listed.

These numbers are so fudged to produce a specific result that they are meaningless. Do you really think they intend these to be clear and give an honest picture of the situation?

They never, ever include PS3 as a player when talking total numbers, but when they want to show a sales unit decline then suddenly it's in. When they want to talk about attach rate then suddenly it's in. You can NOT have it both ways if you want to have a consistent argument. They have only smoke and mirrors.
