My guess is probably not, but I'm not entirely sure. This is mostly for Americans who buy Christmas gifts for their kids, not so much the demographic norm of this forum.
On one hand, there is a shopping frenzy that happens on Black Friday, and there is also a lot of impulsivity surrounding that buying. So perhaps in the US it makes a lot of sense to drop new products in November to take advantage of that. Bundles and such go over very well.
In other countries, it makes less sense, because - scalpers or not - it makes more sense to get consoles into hands before the holiday season so the shopping season focus can be on the software.
But I don't think they'd do the November sales if they didn't see an advantage to it. So I'm voting unsure.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
