November + December 2018
NSW - 1356k + 1770k = 3126k (+ 33.9%)
PS4 - 1478k + 820k = 2298k (-13.7%)
XB1 - 1342k + 930k = 2272k (-17.1%)

November + December 2017
NSW - 835k* + 1500k = 2335k
PS4 - 1582k + 1080k = 2662k
XBO - 1376k + 1365k = 2741k

*Data in the thread said between 770k and 900k so I went with the halfway point.

Edit: I'd say this puts in perspective the Smash did little for hardware narrative. Switch had a 33% stronger holiday period thanks to Smash and Pokémon. The reason we get a "disappointing" 14% YoY is because Nintendo slacked off in the other 10 months and the holidays had to make up for it.

Maybe it was because the Smash Bundle was available in November. Which gave sales to November which could have been in December if the bundle was released at the same time as Smash.
