try to use your brain for a minute. we are talking about the holidays being a advantage, compared to launching in march, not second month being a decline, if switch shipped 600k, for november, and 600k for december, how is that a advantage compared to march? in the end they both sold the same for in 2 months.

First there is no any need for insults. Second, December like second month is a part of holiday season, third, clear fact is that consoles will sell much better during holiday season than any in other date in year in any case, that goes for launch also. Fact that Switch was sold out in march and april don't change that fact, point is simple, if launch was in holiday season and not in Q1 Nintendo would from start made plans to have bigger stocks for holiday season launch compared to march launch (where they actually initially prepared 2m for launch that led to huge stock problems). November and December are always most busiest months for almost any product, and that especially goes for consoles, there is a reason why consoles in most cases have launch in holiday season, because it's obvious they will have great sales and great launch in any case, even Wii U (thats worst selling Nintendo console ever) had good launch because holiday season and right after holiday season sales were catastrophic.

This is like asking which console will sell the most, PS1 or PS2. Switch is a brand new generation. It released more than three YEARS after PS4. Sales should not be compared because doing so is totally unfair and illogical.

What's wrong with comparing the PS1 and PS2? Or PS4 and Wii/3DS... god forbid we compare sales of a consoles that released a whopping three YEARS apart. Though you haven't seemed to mind these comparisons in the past.

"The PS2 had legs that he PS4 simply won't have."

There's nothing wrong with comparing consoles of different generations, yet saying Switch isn't part of the same generation as PS4/XBO is premature, that remains to be seen. Switch could very well have a release date closer to PS4 than PS5, a software library that shares more games with ps4 than ps5, and spend more of it's life on the market with the ps4 than ps5. Shared generations are defined by peers, the Switch has none, so which it should be grouped with isn't yet known.

But no the comparison of sales between Switch and PS4 is neither unfair or illogical.

Yes manufacturer can expect sales to be more stable. But when a console have 8 months of shortages it is very clear they wouldn't be able to produce much more to take advantage of the holidays.

Do you know that Sony had to move by aircraft the inventory from January to December to prevent X1 from capturing all sales right?

Let me make myself more clear. I think it's illogical and unfair to view these two consoles as competitors since they're separate generations and 3 years apart. The generational thing is self explanatory. The gap in years... well. That's like two sprinters competing in the olympics and letting one of them get a 20 yard head start. Not fair. Illogical. Outcome pointless.

When aligning the sales it would be the same as putting the two springers in different heats and just comparing their total time...

so were gonna keep ignoring the fact that almost every console that had high demand that launched during the holidays had massive shortages and couldn't keep up with demand?, are we gonna keep ignoring the fact that switch had more stock then most console launches did in the holidays? every one knows consoles sell better during the holidays, but when launching during the holidays and  they don't have enough supply,and most consoles didn't have near to cover demand, the holidays goes to waste, even wiiu was sold out for a bit during the holidays, and sales were pretty bad for a console launch, i think if it did great numbers, it would have diffidently been sold out the whole holidays , so there is  absolutely nothing pointing to having a huge supply during the holidays , when time and time again this hasn't been the case for console launches. heck nintedo forcast was only to ship 3 million during holiday launch WW for wiiu. that near what switch shipped during none holiday month.

Everything you wrote don't go against what I wrote and my point.

Again, point is simple, if launch was in holiday season and not in Q1 Nintendo would from start made plans to have bigger stocks for holiday season launch compared to march launch (where they actually initially prepared 2m for launch that led to huge stock problems) because they know March and April months are much slower months in any case compared to best performing months in year like November and December.

you have no point in the matter we are discussing, you say fact is console will sell better during holidays, no shit, but thats only if they have supply TO COVER DEMAND. fact is wii and 360 could sold the same exact amount, and way more with out the holidays, and if you don't agree you are an idiot.
