Would a 1.1m November really be an insanely good number? Maybe the success of this generation has warped my thinking, but that doesn't really impress me. 1m is likely the minimum bar for a American November for a console to be relevant.

They usually have price cuts associated with it. I think it could be this generation that has warped the perception. I remember when 700,000 was considered really good last generation. Given at the same time, this is going to be a generations that doesn't have 45 million selling console at the same time. So nothing makes sense!  

(Not value price cut, but hard actual $299.99 going to $199.99 type deal.)

While it didn't have a actual price cut; it did have decent bundling, lots of advertising, and a big game launch + another big game coming very soon. Felt like 1m would be a low bar for it this month.

Nintendo consoles trend towards bigger December's than November's. This November is looking like a nice jump for the switch. But December is where we need to look for Nintendo, especially with there biggest game of the year coming.

That's fair too. How much more are you really expecting for December? Have to imagine that Smash will give it a nice boost for it. How much are you expecting?
