Anyone buying the Ps5 AND the Xbox Series S/X?
- Thread starter Hummel003
- Start date
Gonna get both for sure! Excited for Spider-Man and Bugsnax on PS5 and I'm excited about getting everything else for my XSX.
I still plan on getting a 3080 and a PS5. I don't really see any compelling reason to get a XSX and upgrade my PC, but I am also extremely fond of the XBox brand and ecosystem, and have literally hundreds of games on XBox - it really seems unlikely that I will not get the XSX, it just also doesn't seem to make sense to do it?
The other option would be to get the XSX/PS5, and keep my 2070 powered PC for what I call PC "exclusive" games - grindy stuff, RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3, space sims, etc.
If I knew for sure XSX games were going to be 4k60 or offer 1440p@60/120 I would be pretty tempted to do that for non PS5 exclusives/Sony-marketing led games like Black Ops Cold War.
I am very torn.
EDIT: I think what really influences my decision is that I do almost all gaming from the same desk area - two monitors, PC, consoles, and a 43' 4k TV. I bought a 65' OLED - glorious - sits on the other side of the room - but I don't find my couch particularly comfortable and I don't really care for sitting 8 or so feet away from the TV - if I ever decided to just do most of my gaming from the couch it would totally change my plans, but I am also just as likely to buy a small OLED for my desk area and make it my primary monitor.

Neither one at launch, but I'm sure I'll end up with both eventually.
Though if I'm honest with myself I probably shouldn't get either. I spend more time playing older games than modern ones these days.

Both for me yes but not day one. I also more of an Xbox player in general so I would have love a super cheap (series S style) PS5 as I play only exclusives on their side.
Of course I will, but not at launch. I will get the Series X day one because Sea of Thieves is my favorite game at the moment and Cyberpunk is my most anticipated one this year. I might get a PS5 early next year. Maybe as soon as Ratchet and Clank is available.
Yep, plan on getting an X and PS5 as soon as they launch. Since I'm fully digital these days, I plan to get the DE for PS5.
If MS had a version of the X without the disc drive and the same specs, I'd buy that version. The S is a very cool looking console and my favorite physical look of the bunch, just not as interested in the lower specs. Glad it exists though.

i actually might get a ps this gen. the difference is the dualsense looks so much more comfy/xbox like than the dual shock, and preferring the xbox controller is a huge reason i stay in that ecosystem.
that said i'm not sure how much of my ps controller issues are with the size (fixed by dualsense) or with the symmetric sticks (not fixed by dualsense) until i get my hands on one.
however i dont see it being around launch, as 500 for xsx plus 4-500 more on ps5 in a close time frame is just way too much. it'll be months if it happens. i'm certainly not that interested in ratchet or morales for those to mean i greatly desire a ps to have to get one right away. actually i'm not too interested in any ps exclusives that i can really think of, not so big on 3rd party action (lets be honest, all i really play is destiny with a side of halo anyway).

Yup. This. Exact same thing. May have 2 Series S, one for office too.
That's pretty kinky. Are there some, ummm, bedroom features they haven't revealed yet?
Nah, selling my PS4 Pro in the next days and then it is Switch only. All this holding back is fckn me up tbh.
"Why pick a boat when you can buy the whole fleet"
I will aim for both day 1. I am worried about the PS5 most of all since I think the Series X will be easier to preorder.
I am aiming to get a 3080 next week too and any Switch HD/4k they release.
Hell I even got Stadia at launch.
I'll always advocate for all because console wars are stupid and gaming in general is very affordable because most things are very easily to resell.

I'm considering the S as a streaming box for the bedroom eventually, if that counts...
Getting a PS5, probably digital... And will get the Switch upgrade. I'll also be upgrading my PC at some point...

Series X and regular PS5. Series X is a definite day one for me. I'll try to snag a PS5 day one as well, but I won't be too heartbroken if it's not possible for whatever reason (unless Demon's Souls is at launch D:).
I traded both my x and pro yesterday and tucked the money away safely with the rest of my next gen funds that ive been storing for a year. I have the cash for both the series x and ps5, now i just need the pre order
Eventually. I usually get the other console near the end of it's lifespan. Bought 360 9 months after launch, then a PS3 in Jul 13. This time I decided to hold off on the Xbox One and just go straight in for Series X.
PS5 at launch, but Series X much later, when it's cheaper and has a limited edition with a cool color.
I was always going to get a PS5 no question, some point next year, probably when Horizon 2 comes out.
I had zero interest in Series X but the fact I can have access to next gen gaming via Series S for £250 right now is very tempting. Although still seems like a waste of money for me.

I bought all the consoles last generation and regretted it because I don't have enough time to play them all. I'm going to ride gamepass for a while and see how I like it.
