Last November had the Cyber monday included, this year it won't. Because of that, general November sales should be weaker than last year, including PS4 sales.

I can see over 1 million but should be well under last year 1.48 million

Right, that's a topic that has already come up in various threads. The timing of Black Friday is different this year.

For NPD it means a worse November period and a better December period. Something to keep in mind for year over year comparisons, so no jumping the gun when November NPD results somehow get leaked. Better to wait until both November and December are in and make comparisons with both months combined.

for context, last year numbers:

Nov - 1.478.000
Dec - 796.000
Tot - 2.274.000

2017:

Nov - 1.690.000
Dec - 1.080.000
Tot - 2.770.000

Imo personally i expect a drop compared to last year, but i get your point, the drop definitively won't be as big as it was in the past months.
