This is the Ultimate Console Showdown comparison thread for 2024. Anyone interested in the same type of thread, but Lifetime, either for Worldwide numbers or regional ones can check and follow both of these ones: Global Lifetime Showdown / Regional Lifetime Showdown or the Japan one, which is weekly.

The battles for this year are as follows:

  • Nintendo Switch vs PSP 2007 (13M)
  • PlayStation 5 vs NSW 2019 (19M)
  • XBOX Series vs XB1 2020 (4M)

The target for all of the comparisons is to be as close as possible (or gives us range in between when there are three competitors in total) and to give us better perspective where the given console is going this year and having good chance of finishing close in the end. Therefore if some of the contenders go way too 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. 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, fresh and interesting.
