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.

Actually the strongest December of PS5 was 1.39M.

Also PS4 had stronger Decembers than that, peaking at 1.82M in 2016, which is stronger than Switch's 1.8M.

I won't be surprised if this December PS5 hit it's record for that month in Europe, passing the 1.39M number.

Also that trend where PS sells more in November, started just recently, from 2023.

With PS4 and even PS5 up until 2023, December was always the stronger month.
