They've never really done HW numbers and for the most part, they're only incidental to the numbers they do care about. SW sales for the US publishers. Overall, he's actually quite good at overall SW numbers, with big swings between the publishers when he misses a particularly big sku. Catalog wise (old games), he's got some excellent models for those sales, so the big bomb/surprise always causes swings.
Again, he doesn't particularly care about the Nintendo SW sales, except to see how they affect other SW sales (usually sucking oxygen from that platform, but at the same time infusing it with HW sales for later months).
