I said relative stability, PS4 had a 2nd month drop of about 25%, Wii had an increase of about 25%, 360 had a drop of under 15%.

Her are some other Nov launches

GC Nov 2001-660k

GC Dec 2001-570k

 

Xbox Nov 2001-720k

Xbox Dec 2001-700k

 

Again all Nov launches have a relatively stable 2nd month regardless of stock issues.

Here are the drops for Spring launches

Switch March 2017-900k

Switch April 2017-280k

 

3DS March 2011-400k

3DS April 2011-190k

 

GBA June 2001-880k

GBA July 2001-360k

 

 

Nov launches see Dec sales roughly the same while Spring launches see 50-70% declines.

First off, all those consoles were stock limited. Secondly, don't you think that that has more to do with nintendo just being not as good as funnelling stock through the chains as the other people? Cause I can assure you, the NS didn't sell 620k less in the following month because no one wanted it. It was still out of stock. 

same happened with the 3ds..... I don't know about the GBA.

I mean you always provide great data, but come on... theer is a lot of context to that data too. A lot of variables. One thing that makes this easy though, is simple demand and supply. And supply is limited by stock. Don't know how else to say this.

If its because Nintendo is bad at funneling stock than why did GC, Wii & Wii U (Nov launches) all have relatively stable 2nd months?

 

Same thing didnt happen with 3DS, it was massively overshipped at launch, that was a decline due to demand.

 

It cant be a coincidence that every Nov launch has steady sales in Dec while every spring launch had a massive drop.
