We are now 2 weeks into November and we are getting into the territory where things start getting interesting.

The PS4 and Xbox One 2014 got HUGE bumps this week due to the release of COD: Advanced Warfare during this time in 2014. Due to the severe stock issues for the PS5 and Xbox Series, there's a good chance that its predecessors might have the advantage and ultimately the win in the last 2 months of the year depending on how limited the stock truly is.

The Nintendo Switch also has an interesting battle ahead of it. This week it was down again over last year, but there was no major, holiday title that would move tons of hardware last year (Sorry, Hyrule Warriors.) This year, they have Pokemon, which drops next week. Unless stock is more severe than I thought, I expect next week to be up for the Switch.
