Ps3 launched in November. It was delayed to match in Europe due to hardware shortages.

 

3DS and Vita also had q4 launches in Japan I think? With Western launches delayed into the following year. March launches suggest delays without wanting to push the release back a full year.

 

Xbox and GCN also got pushed back to spring launches in Europe.

Nope 3DS launched Q1 across all regions, PS2 launched in March, DS launched in March in the PAL regions N64 did the same, Xbox launched Q1 in both PAL and Japan. March is not an uncommon launch period.

3DS is my bad I confused it with the original (I imported one at the Japanese launch)

 

PS2 had November Western release and manufacturing issues (Japan used to get hardware a full year of more before the West so could still have been delayed from the intentional launch.)

 

It's not uncommon but I don't think it's the desired period.
