Historical Consoles Showdown

[XtremeBG]

Edit as of February 2026:

My previous comparisons on the Switch 1 (all regions and worldwide) were added.

The charts for the comparisons below were adjusted.

• PlayStation 1 vs Nintendo Wii (102.5M & 101.6M)
  
• PlayStation Portable vs GameBoy Advance (82.5M vs 81.5M)

The following ones were removed:

• PlayStation 2 vs Nintendo DS (160M & 154M)
• PlayStation 3 & Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 4 & Xbox One (173M vs 175M)
• PlayStation 3 vs Xbox 360 (87M & 86M)

The first one is not needed anymore, cuz Switch 1 is replacing that, since it will finish between the two. The second and the third, well .. there are articles about those on the site here (you can go to articles - sales and type those in the search bar), and since the post will become too big if I include them too, alongside all the other ones, it may break the post and the thread (when I include 8 or more comparisons in one post, the post or the thread gets broken because of not enough memory, whatever that means .. and it won't update or let me edit it).
