This is the Ultimate Console Showdown comparison thread for 2022.
The battles for this year are as follows:
- Nintendo Switch vs Nintendo DS'10 (20.3M)
- PlayStation 5 vs PlayStation 3'10 (13.8M)
- Xbox Series X/S vs Xbox One'18 (8.8M)
- Xbox Series X/S vs Xbox 360'08 (345k - JAPAN)
Latest adjustments: March 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 2022. Other thing is also I would not repeat the 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.*
