Software data is even more closed off than before. Hardware, we do what we can with the data we are able to collect. We now post hardware estimates monthly rather than weekly as some data we collect only comes in once per month. That and I was getting burnt out updating the hardware every single week.

How are you feeling now @trunkswd ?

Firstly I missed the weekly updates, however one thing I didn't realize in the beginning - the accurate data. So with the monthly updates it is way more accurate and less adjustments needed than weekly updates where those aren't so accurate, and why post something if you need to adjust it every time later.

I'm doing well enough. Sometimes I need a bit of a break, but doing them monthly does mean some easier weeks for me.

Yes, exactly. Doing the hardware monthly means it is more accurate than before and far fewer adjustments when more data does come in like the quarterly reports from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.
