Point is that Nintendo always had biggest jump in December compared to November, compared to XB1 and PS4, actual PS4 and XB1 have some previous November months that were higher than December, so December maybe want be stronger for PS4/XB1 than previous November.

Which year please ? (excluding 2013 of course, november was the launch month and PS4 was out of stock in december)

PS4 sold better in November 2015. than in December 2015. while difference between November and December 2014. was minimal. XB1 only last year sold better in December than in November in same year.

And now compare that with Nintendo sales MoM, from November to December.

Hum... weird, VGC has 1,584k PS4 for December 2015.

http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=USA&start_year=2013&end_year=2017&console=PS4

I thought VGC figures were recalculated taking NPD data/leaks into account. OK, I think NPD is more reliable.

But even then, you have just one year of November sales better than December sales for PS4, and you consider it as it's a norm ? (well, it seems hard for this year, but they can still sell 1.3-1.5M)

Something’s off, weekly average? NPD for December is always 5 weeks, and the busiest shopping day is the Saturday before Christmas. The charts only show 3 weeks for December...nothing was really proven.

I think you are meant to click on sort by best selling, although I'm not sure how accurate it would be.
