Forums - Sales Discussion - Ultimate Console Showdown: 2022 |Completed|

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)

*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.*

Ultimate Showdowns: JP 2023 / JP 2024 / 2024 / 2023 / 20222021

Lifetime Showdown  /  YOY Charts

Around the Network

PS5 will likely lose this one. Not sure Sony will produce that many. Im expecting 17.5.

Switch should edge this one by a a couple of million. Should be around 22.5

Xbox series will fall a bit short. I expect around 10 mil for it.

I think XBS definitely has a chance.

If Sony fix their shortage problem I think PS5 has a chance at 19M.

Xbox series if has better stock it has also a shot at 11M. It's not so much ..

Agreed. They both have a shot if they have enough stock.

Im predicting they wont though. Hopefully Im wrong ad I want the console market to do well.



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

My predictions for 2022 (based on literally nothing but whatever):

Xbox 11.5
PS5 16



Around the Network

What I wanna know is why people expect the switch to do better than the DS or close to Ds numbers? Please explain.



 

mM

Xbox will win and the Switch will wipe the floor with the PS5.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Will be interesting to follow this thread as the weeks go by.



Signature goes here!

Honestly, I think PS5 2022 is going to be more competitive with Switch 2018 than 2019. Though Sony often shows better consistency throughout the year, sales for Nintendo always blow up at the end of the year. My guess is that by November PS5 will lead by one to two millions, but by the end of the year they will be about 3M behind, similar to what happened in 2018.

No point in the Xbox One vs Xbox 360 or Wii U, production ended for the One in 2020, the rest look interesting though.
