oh wow, its all about context man, october was a month switch was fully stocked every where, and had one of the most hyped and highest rated mario games of all time. mario sold over 900k in npd in 2 days, yet sales didn't sky rocket for hardware so it was very surprising, now look at september for ps4, it launched with a none exclusive big (destiny) game, it did 538k. the fact that you did a graph for first october's is cute though.

The problem with this plot is that a lot of factors interfere with a single month, like a big game launch or a price cut. You can see that the data doesn't mean anything when the PS1 gets beaten by the N64, Xbox and Gamecube. Actually, the OG Xbox beats all its successors and even crawls close to PS4/Switch.
