Fact that every console sell better during holiday season compared to any other period of year, in most cases consoles sale more in November and December than in two quarter before holiday season. There is also reason why most of consoles have launch during holiday season. Even Wii U thats worst selling Nintendo console ever, had good launch because holiday season, but right away after holiday season it started selling catastrophic.

You just spew a lot of nonsense. At least try and understand your facts.

Yes consoles sells better during the holiday season. But its not because it launched in it. Its because its the HOLIDAY SEASON period.

LAST 8 weeks of the year

  • 2013 (PS4 Launch) = 4.2M 
  • 2015 (just a normal holiday period) = 8.06M
  • 2016 = ~8M
see the trend? And do you know why sony even had that many consoles to sell around the holidays? I'll give you a hint... its something that will be impossible to accomplish during the launch window. regardless of what time of the year you launch.
