Biggest November ever for Playstation.

VGChartz had it as the 2nd best ever, barely missing out to the PS4 2015. So looks like it's the other way around and the PS5 took the crown. Fantastic result.

VGChartz current estimates

PS4 Nov 2015 - 3.557m
PS5 Nov 2023 - 3.545m

I appreciate that being pointed out. We are a little over 11K too low for PS5. Orrrr more likely have PS4 a little too high in November 2015. As we have either have PS5 hitting 50M in the beginning of the week ending December 9 or the previous week. So PS5 is either fine or slightly overtracked. 

Edit: If we do have the PS5 slightly overtracked it would need to be adjusted down between August to October as it hit 40M in week 2 of July and November needs to be the best ever November for a PlayStation console. 

Though we might be okay and not overtracked. We will know once December data starts rolling in next month.

Via @Machina - Historically consoles selling around 1.4m in the last week of Nov then did the following the next week:

1. Switch 2022 - 1.29m > 0.91m
2. Switch 2021 - 1.41m > 1.06m
3. PS4 2018 -1.57m > 0.87m
4. PS4 2017 - 1.62m > 0.80m
5. PS4 2016 - 1.27m > 0.99m
6. PS4 2015 - 1.51M > 0.79m
