OMG the stupid holiday excuse ps4 was sold within 24 hours in north america, the holiday didnt help it, because it had no stock. just like the wii, just like the 360. people forget that these consoles with out the holidays would sell 1.5 million in 2 months just based on launch demand.  example if super nes classic launched during the holidays, it would have made 0 difference, because it sold out right away.

It absolutely makes a difference.

 

A user on this site, Shadow1980, who is known for his charts/graphs has data that shows every single console that launched in Nov had similar sales in Dec while every console launched outside of the holidays had a sharp drop in the 2nd month.

 

Youre right that PS4 1st month sales would have likely stayed the same but its 2nd month sales would likley have been very different if it launched outside of the holidays because people are far more likely to spend hundreds of dollars on gaming in Dec compared to April.

Thats BS, all the best selling consoles in NPD sold like crap during there holiday launch. 360, wii, and ps2, because they were out of stock, check yourself, even the switch could have sold 1.5 in 2 months if it wasnt for stock issues. but ps4 only sold 2 million in 2 months, in 24 hours it sold 1.3 in november, then only 700k in december.
