The fact that the biggest games of the year for each of the consoles was released in November is why it's important. Technically though San Andreas was released at the end of October, but you can easily substitute Metal Gear Solid 3 for it as the big PS2 November release.

PC received Half Life 2
Xbox received Halo 2 (11/9/2004)
PS2 received Snake Eater
GCN received Metroid Prime 2

There you go.
