My take on the Japan preview's hardware miscalculations is that there is an over-reliance on trying to correlate hardware sales directly with software sales, without enough consideration of long-term trends and other factors. I don't often see any commentary on when an advertising push is made, for example.

I'm only guessing, of course, but I think The Source needs to recalibrate whatever models he's using.
