From your previous posts you seem to have either copied or scraped a lot of the VGC weekly data into your own spreadsheets... do you think there could be a pattern to how VGC treats months? (btw if you copied it from the hardware by date charts then I admire your dedication... must have taken ages)
Definitely would be better if it was more consistant.
Anyhow so for your comparisons last year was 4-5-4, and this year is 5-4-4 correct? If so then yes May was similar in weekly sales to what Switch is doing now, so if there is a stock or game release boost this year in May there is a good chance it will be up that month. April is obviously not possible as with 5 weeks it was almost 2.7 million last year. And March I agree there is a slim chance, but even with 5 weeks I think it will be down compared to last year.

I believe how it works is if at least 4 days of a week are in a month, it is counted as one week for that month. For example March 28-April 3 will be apart of March, not April, because 4 March days are in that week

Yes thats how dmillos does it for his charts, but not on the VGC graphs.
Exceptions:
the week ending May 2nd 2020 was included in May
week ending Oct 3rd 2020 was included in October
w/e Nov 2nd 2019 was included in November
w/e Aug 3rd 2019 included in August
and plenty more.
The most odd offender being w/e Jan3rd 2015 is not counted in either Dec 2014 nor Jan 2015, but instead is put into Dec 2015. (so Dec 2015 is possibly the only 6-week month)
