The thread is now completed. Best holiday months for each region has been added, as well as best non holiday months for each region as well.
Check the OG post. A few notes:
- November is where PlayStation shines.
- December is dominated by Nintendo.
- November + December has only 1 PS year so far. Can the PS5 change this ?
- November in US is dominated by Xbox. Can Nintendo dethrone them and beat the 1.77M with the Switch 2 ?
- December in US is all for Nintendo, can the Switch 2 beat it's predecessors?
- November in Europe is almost all PlayStation. Can PS5 put new record this year and pass the 1.95M record from last year ?
- December in Europe is Nintendo dominated. Can the PS5 change this and finally put the brand in the top 5 for the month in that region ?
- November + December in Europe has a record of 4.55M by the DS which hasn't been broken. If not now with PS5, then when ?
- Japan is purely Nintendo. However November record is from the 3DS. It's time Switch 2 to change this! Can it reach 600k for November ?
- Can the Switch 2 reach 2M in December and beat the DS record of 1.88M there ?
- For all non holidays, the record is from the NSW2 Launch. While others is separated between the NSW and the DS.
- DS casually selling 1M in April 2009 in US.
- DS casually selling between 800k and 920k in Europe in summer hot months of 2008, and April 2009 and September 2007.
- DS casually selling almost a million in September 2006 in Japan. Also without a sweat doing between 680k and 800k in normal months like March or June or May in 2006.
