Have we already seen in the past a big console release in a summer? |
We have, whether in NA or other regions. I think it's been a while, though.
N64 launched in June 1996 in Japan. Game Boy Advance (a portable) launched in June 2001 in most major regions. SNES was an August 1991 release in NA, while Famicom was a July 1983 release in Japan. Game Boy launched July 1989 in NA.
PS1 launched in NA on September 9, 1995. That's still summer based on science, but many countries consider summer over on September 1.
But it seems Q4 or Q1 releases are best for hardware, whether it's a home console or handheld.
