Is this the biggest month in gaming, ever?
With huge titles like Cats for the DS, NFL Street Vol 3 for the PS2, and instant classic Online Chess Kingdoms for the PSP...
Er, OK. Let me restate my case.
Hardware news is big. The 360 gets its HD DVD addon. The Wii and the PS3 are released.
Final Fantasy fans get FFIII, FFV, and FFXII (let me fudge it by a day).
The 360's biggest release of its lifetime so far (Gears of War). The Wii gets the biggest release of the Gamecube's lifetime (Zelda).
Plus, you've got Elite Beat Agents, Guitar Hero II, Call of Duty 3, Rainbow Six Vegas, Castlevania, Smackdown, Resistance: Fall of Man, Battle of Middle Earth II...
Every single platform has at least one huge AAA title to look forward to. The PC might've gotten WoW's expansion if it had stayed on schedule.
Can you make a case for any other month?

are you grouping the beginning of December, and the end of November into one "month"?
Technically, the zelda game comes out for the cube in december, as well as some of the other titles you've mentioned.
Either way, yes, this season is HUGE for the industry

I was going by a calendar on Game Informer as I couldn't find one online.
