Hum... weird, VGC has 1,584k PS4 for December 2015.

I thought VGC figures were recalculated taking NPD data/leaks into account. OK, I think NPD is more reliable.

But even then, you have just one year of November sales better than December sales for PS4, and you consider it as it's a norm ? (well, it seems hard for this year, but they can still sell 1.3-1.5M)

Something’s off, weekly average?  NPD for December is always 5 weeks, and the busiest shopping day is the Saturday before Christmas.  The charts only show 3 weeks for December...nothing was really proven.
