Yes it would because they would have planned things differently since Dec is such a busy time for sales.
For example, they wouldnt have planned to ship 2 million globally in Nov followed by 500k in Dec. No console manufacturer has ever done anything like that.
Like the data shows, Dec sales are usually around Nov sales. Nintendo, Sony & Microsoft know this hence why they make plans to ship a similar number in each of those months when they have a Nov launch.

ok, whatever, we won't ever make you agree on it, so have your way. Switch would sell 10M if launched on Holiday and PS4 just 500k if launched in March.

Again, fact is that holiday season incomparable stronger than March, April in any case, of course they wouldn't had same plan for launch during March and during November. Maybe Switch would again have shortages even during holiday season with bigger stocks, but point is that they would prepare more consoles for launch. Again, Nintendo said months before Switch launch they preparing to ship 2m consoles for launch, you can bet they plan would be to prepare around 4m if launch was in November instead of March.

not even sony shipped that much ps4' for November so stop. they shipped 4.2 million for the entire holiday, despite knowing that the ps4 would be a sure hit and knew it huge demand, it had a million preorders 4 months before launch in north america alone. they had to launch in japan 6 months later, because they didn't have enough stock. you keep bringing up the same point, why didn't nintedo launch with much bigger supply for wii? they knew it was the holidays right? why didn't 360 launch with much bigger supply? why didn't the ps3 have enough supply to launch in europe? why didnt the ps2 have enough supply, you keep bringing the holidays they would have made sure to have more units, most of the times it just impossible. you act like launching during the holiday is perfectly planned when its almost never the case, and nintedo was coming off the wiiu, i doubt they would gone crazy with shipments.

I wonder what all of the consoles had in common? Could it be that they all released in November?
Well, clearly that's just a fluke. Let's look at a console that didn't launch in the holidays.

Oh, that's odd. Switch was ahead in the second month by the same margin as in the third month, and the fourth month, and the fifth month. And you're telling me that 3DS launched in nearly the same week of the year as Switch? Must be a coincidence.
Man, if you guys hadn't been here to share your wisdom, I'd almost think that consoles sell more in December than April!
