"IBM gained four percentage points in the fourth quarter vs. the third, while HP fell two percentage points. HP led slightly in total revenue, $1.37 billion to $1.34 billion, but HP sales rose just 6% vs. 34% for IBM. EMC Corp. ranks No. 3, with quarterly sales of $614 million."

Allow me to translate this from the Greek and re-write the headline for you:

"IBM CUTS THE HECK OUT OF PRICES AND PROFITS TO GAIN MARKET SHARE" Tom Watson, spokesperson for the Storage Unit said, "Well, we loose a little on each sale, but we make it up on the volume!"

I wonder whether any disk drives from the division recently sold to Hitachi are included in those IBM numbers.
