October	275k, Assassin's Creed, WWE, Uncharted Collection, $50 price cut
November	1540k, Call of Duty, Fallout, Battlefront, Need For Speed, $50 discount Black Friday
December	1580k, Rainbow Six, $50 discount for 2 weeks
Total	5740k

January*-4 week vs 5 week

Major releases are new games that charted in their debut month.

Seeing that chart, it looks to me that Switch will probably win August, but probably loose September by a similar amount.

October should be a clear win for the Switch, considering just how much is releasing that month for the Switch

November is a toss-up right now, as we don't know yet what Nintendo plans for the month. But Pokémon Go is already a good start imo.

December should be for the Switch with Smash, even moreso since the PS4 barely improved sales over November that year.

Naw switch is gonna start losing steam, especially with weak release schedule. 

Doesn't look like it to me
