Yeah, my bad, I shoulda researched it more carefully, and I apologize.
Based on this:

They dropped like 12% units shipped, despite losing 41% of their existing market share from Q2 2012 to Q2 2013.
So the market didn't grow enough to stave off a drop in units shipped, but it's not quite as bad as it sounds when reports don't take the growth in the overall market into account.
However, that being said, the bigger issue facing BB is that only half of those shipments were BB10 devices regardless.
Generally speaking, not great news no matter how you frame it.
