JAPAN Consoles Showdown: 2023 |Completed|

[XtremeBG]

This is the JAPAN Console Showdown comparison thread for 2023.

It will be only for the JAPAN region, and will be the only sales thread from me, that will be updated weekly since the site is updating the worldwide numbers monthly instead of weekly.

To be able to update them weekly I will put the Famitsu numbers each week, and when VGCharts releases estimated ones, I will adjust them with those numbers, because the competitor's numbers are VGCharts estimated and not Famitsu ones, and therefore it is more fair to compare them to the numbers from the same place, and at the same time.

The battles for this year for JAPAN are as follows:

• Nintendo Switch vs Nintendo DS'08 (4.2M)
• PlayStation 5 vs Nintendo 3DS'14 (3.1M)
• PlayStation 4 2023 vs Xbox Series S/X 2023

Latest adjustments: April 2024

*The target for all of the comparisons is to be as close as possible (and with that to give us better perspective where the given console is going this year) and to have good chance of finishing close in the end. Therefore if some of the contenders go way far one from another then, the contender's year, or even the contender itself may change so that it suits better to the given's console performance in 2023. Other thing is also I would not repeat main competitor (on the tables) from the year before from my thread, so even if it's a good fit, I would always look for a different one, so it's always new and fresh.*
