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.

Maybe you should check, or just ask Shadow, he has all the data dating back to 2000 or so.
