I'll at least keep the Pro and the S whenever I pick up the Series X.
I would like to trade in or try to sell my OG PS4.

Are you going to hold on to your current-gen consoles after you upgrade?

Yeah probably. But only because I'm too lazy to sell it.
Also, a small, irrational part of me wants to keep my PS4 purely because of the great memories I had on it (even though I'll likely never turn it on again).

i will definitely keep them, the question is whether i leave them connected. i generally want access to all or most of my games in case something catches my fancy. so with BC i may not leave them connected. i will still need to keep my OG ps3 connected for another generation since i want access to ps2 games. i would mostly play ps1 games on vita, at least the ones on psn, but am currently playing suikoden 3 on the ps3.
I'm gonna give my brother the PS4. I kinda want to keep the 2TB HDD inside but I don't have any spare hard drives lying around and giving him a PS4 without a hard drive would be a dick move. And damn, I still have PT on that thing. I better warn him not to delete it....maybe I shouldn't give him my PS4 :P
Nope. I sold my Xbone X because I have a gaming PC and am selling my PS4 Pro (white Destiny 2 edition and upgraded 2TB HD) as soon as someone buys it!
I don't see a point when the next-gen systems play BC games just fine.

Definitely. I have a PS4 and I plan to get an Xbox Series X first. But I would consider selling my PS4 if I would get a PS5 instead.
I have 2 Xbox one x's so I'm keeping one, but selling the other. I'm selling my PS Pro and buying an extra PS5 this time around.
Nope, trading my PS4 Pro in for $360 towards my PS5. I'll have no need for a last gen console once next gen hits.
Keeping my sealed PS4 500M for the collection.
The noisy, butt ugly standard PS4 Pro will be sold asap.

Gonna keep my one x upstairs as a BR player and Gamepass machine and trade in my pro as soon as there is an all black ps5 or if I can hold a slimmed down version
Buying an SX straight up pre-ordered

Nah, as soon as GS has a decent promo for console turn in I'll get one. I didn't want to do the console for console credit because I didn't want to be without one for two months.
I'm giving my PS4 Pro to a friend who wants to get into console gaming but doesn't want to drop $500 in case she doesn't like it.
If she gets a PS5 she'll give it back and its going in the basement.

With full backwards compatibility for the Xbox One's library, there's no reason for me to keep my One X. That's getting sold. My PS4 Pro will likely meet the same fate so long as most of the library is made backwards compatible.
Surely. The XB1 and XB1SX can game together, no reason to get rid of one. And they even use many of the same accessories. My brother and I will have the option on playing together across both.
The PS4 will probably have crappier legacy support with PS5, online and off. It won't pair as well as the older systems did with each other, making keeping less a convenience, and more a necessity. And with PSVR, I definitely don't expect all of that to port over properly. So it could likely become a PSVR-Box too, even if Back-Compat works out much, much better than shown.

Sold my Pro and Xbox X. Will most likely only be picking up PS5 to augment my PC and Switch.
I am really only using my Xbox as 4K Blu-ray player and for BC. Most games are on PC anyways so 🤷.

Probably . I still have a 360 in the closet haha . Will probably put my xbx in a spare room . Not worth selling them for such little money imo
P.T., baby!
...one day I'll get brave enough to play it.
It seems like 99% of games should be backwards compatible with the PS5, but I'm still concerned about that 1%.

If all my current gen games are backward compatible, I don't see a point.
I only keep older hardware if it's necessary to continue playing my game library on. So after this, not counting Nintendo hardware, I'll have a PS5, launch PS3, and an XSX.
I mean, my setup's only got so many HDMI ports.

I am trading in PS4 Pro since PSVR 1 works with the PS5. But I plan to get a PS5 in the next six months.
I am not trading in my One X though, it is one of my all time favorite game consoles. I will probably wait to get a Series X until there is a better form factor for it and by then the One X will be worth much less.

I haven't decided if I'm going to sell my PS4 Pro yet. I'm not going to upgrade my XB1X until next year.
Without user reports on PS5/PS4 compatibility, I haven't committed to getting rid of my PS4 Pro yet. I'm sure within a few days of the release of the console we'll have a pretty exhaustive idea of any games that have issues that I might want to play on PS4 before moving on.
Sold my PS4 Pro back in August. With the 99% BC figure, I didn't think there was a point in keeping it, and I was hoping the PS5 would be quieter and have better battery life for the controller. I also figured the SSD would be a big QoL improvement. The jury's still out on the controller's battery life, but it definitely looks to be quieter.
