I am huge fan of Switch, but I feel this date is arbitrary in an objective sense. It would be nice to see how all the consoles compare exactly 12 months after launch. That seems like the most objective date to me.

How is the end of a fiscal quarter arbitrary? Its not.

We cant compare exactly 12 months from launch because Sony/Nintendo do not report that way, they report numbers at the end of each fiscal quarter.

You have a fair point.  But on the other hand, the easiest time to declare a console in "the lead" is right after December.  If they are still the fastest selling console in a few months after the Wii and PS4 get an extra holiday season, then that would really be something.  It would be "the lead" in a more permanent sense.
