PS5 will likely sell 3-4 times more than Switch 2 in Europe during November. It will be interesting to see if PS5 is so strong in Europe this year that it comfortably outsells Switch 2 in December as well, looks like it based on that huge November advantage.

Switch 1 peak November in Europe was 1.03m, PS5 peak November in Europe was 1.95m last year. PS5 tripling Switch 2 this month in Europe is possible, as Switch 1 averaged around 650k for Nov EU sales, but not guaranteed. Think 4x would be very unlikely though. Switch 2 has already been seeing some pretty significant discounts and deals though so for a launch year November it might do a lot better than expected.

Nintendo is heavily weighted towards December though compared to PS. Switch 1 peaked at 1.80m for EU December, whereas PS5's best EU December is 1.35m. Nintendo always sells much more in December than November and PS the opposite. 

Switch 2 winning December is certainly possible. Family's getting Switch's for Christmas is massive for Nintendo.

Given that Japan as of yet usually have stronger Switch 2 months than Europe, if Japan is around 500-550k sales for November, Europe could maybe match that for November. 1M could happen in Japan for December, which would based on the trend of Japan being a bigger market for Switch 2 as of yet put Europe at 800-900k Switch 2 sales for December.
