Though on the other hand a systems "first christmas" will surely bring a boost to some extent, i.e kids who want a switch when they hear about it, and there parents telling them to wait for it as a Christmas present. There's too many variables. I think Switch will outsell PS4 in nov+dec, but by around 1m-1.5m, not quite enough to claw back the gap. |
Well first year and first christmas are never peak one, because things I mention it's expected that this Q4 Switch will have stronger sales than it had last year.

switch hardly had stock problems during the holidays, and it was mario kart, Mario Odyysey, zelda and splatoon 2 first holiday, and all those games sold a ton during there first holidays, along with pent up demand. |
It had in some degree in some markets, for instance in Japan. MK8D, Zelda and Splatoon were released before christmas, only Mario Odyysey and Xenoblade 2 were stronger games in Q4, and offocurse MK8D, Zelda and Splatoon will also sell Switch this holiday season in some degree with huge help and boost in shape of Pokemon and Smash Bros. Switch will easily have stronger calendar Q4 than it had last year.
