Forums - Sales - Ultimate Consoles Showdown: December 2025 |Completed|

XtremeBG on 26 January 2025

Welcome to my biggest Ultimate Showdown thread yet, which is for 2025. Anyone interested in the same thread but for Japan can follow the Japan one, which is updated weekly. Anyone interested in Lifetime based instead of yearly, for both Worldwide and regional data can check and follow both of these ones: Global Lifetime Showdown / Regional Lifetime Showdown  which are updated monthly, as well as the Year on Year Charts comparison thread.

The battles for this year are as follows:

- Worldwide:

  • Nintendo Switch vs Wii '12 (5.1M)
  • PlayStation 5 vs PlayStation 4 '15 (17.4M)
  • XBOX Series X/S vs Nintendo Wii U '14 (3.5M)

- United States:

  • Nintendo Switch vs PlayStation Portable '11 (1.25M)
  • PlayStation 5 vs Xbox 360 '07 (4.4M)
  • XBOX Series X/S vs 3DS '18 (1.5M)

- Europe:

  • Nintendo Switch vs PlayStation Portable '13 (1.4M)
  • PlayStation 5 vs Nintendo Switch '21 (6.1M)
  • XBOX Series X/S vs DS '12 (715K)

- For Japan click here

Quick access data for 2024 (as of August 2025):

Region WW US EU
PS5 19.6M 6M 7.1M
NSW 11.9M 3.2M 3.25M
XBSX 4.8M 2.8M 1M

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.

Despite the successor coming in soon-ish, I think the Switch can definitely match up the PSP in its Twilight years. It's performance in Japan and elsewhere than the US and Europe will be indicative of that.

I'll be paying attention to this thread as well naturally. For worldwide maybe instead of that PS3 year against the Xbox Series you could have something that did about 2.5m and a 2nd comparison of something that did about 4m to further show just how big or small the decline could be this year.

I know, but the only 4M year a console had was XB1'20 and I did not want to repeat the same comparison from last year but to be new and fresh.

Japan is clear, it will be another decent year for 9 year old console. EU and US will be the interesting markets this year. There is the question.

That's fair. The PS3 in 2014 was more frontloaded than the Xbox Series will be this year but it should give a decent enough picture.

If the rumours about next gen XBOX for 2026 are true, then announcement sometime this year is not out of the question. Which will lead to frontloaded XBSX sales too. I added PSP' 12 (4.3M) to the chart as well.

That being added makes it better I think so thanks!
