It makes me wonder why over the years, most platforms (regionally usually, as day and date or at least the same quarter are relatively new) don't launch in Q1. A lot of corporations end their fiscal year with Q1. A Q1 launch means interest after a holiday and a ramp up (in hardware availability and games) to the upcoming holiday season (both in separate fiscal years).
I truly suppose the corporations bank on the US/Western Europe and some other nations buying en masse in November and December regardless of what software is available for a platform.
Nintendo with their Blue Ocean strategy seems more okay with March than Sony or Microsoft.
