Three reasons:
1) I'm sharing data from the retail console industry. It shows you the health of that slice of the market (assume OG Wii is completely dead). Handhelds are a completely different set of data.
2) Handhelds are completely irrelevant in the retail market and to be honest I don't care about them in the slightest.
3) Sharing precise data for 5 systems is the deal I struck with my contact at The NPD Group. They are uncomfortable with me sharing literally every single hardware data point.
