Does price factor at all in your next gen console purchase plans?

Nah, I've saved an absolute fuckton of money during COVID so the price difference between consoles matters zilch to me.
I'll get the PS5 regardless of price. It'll probably be my main console next gen. With how many hours of enjoyment I'll get out of it it's worth it.
It's only a factor in the sense that if it's astronomically high I might wait. But what console I'm getting has been known since before they were even announced. The only way that would have changed is if they did something extremely stupid... in which case, I'd have gone PC only.
It would be great if both or at least PS5 are $399 but I will pay $500 for PS5. Xbox needs a few years of delivering on that promised better first party lineup after all the acquisitions. I've been down this road with them with Rare and Fable 4 not happening 10 years ago so they need more time for my $
We plan on starting a family this year so a November PS5 purchase is looking likely to be one of my last big pre-kids purchases. Idk what the future holds so I'm going to secure that so I'm set for the gen

Price doesn't matter to me, of course if it was super high I would wait to buy it, but I'll get the PS5 day 1 99.9% likely.
I'm pretty much decided, but if the PS5 ends up being $600... I may just wait as opposed to buying an XSX because exclusives.
Nah, I will have both boxes on day one. I thought about ditching the Xbox for a PC but Microsoft has crafted enough exclusive features for the Xbox to keep me around.
Unless I get a really good job this year I'm going to wait til PS5 is at least $400. I don't feel comfortable paying more than that.

You know you don't have to do that, right? You can choose to not fuck either console. It's probably not safe anyway with all those fans in there.
No, it's exclusives that matter to me. I'll be picking up a PS5 day one, but right now Microsoft hasn't swayed me yet on buying a Series X or upgrading my PC
Not in the slightest,games are the only factor......PS5 for me,will keep an eye on Xbox as the gen goes on to see what they come out with.
Price absolutely determines when I purchase one which I dont expect to be at launch. Things like the price itself, fear of problems in early models, lack of games the first year, the usual lack of games being extended due to covid for next gen. As for which console I get it was always going to be ps5 and I dont even care about the big budget AAA sony games these days anymore. Its purely because thats where the smaller japanese developers will be and not on xbox.
I mean right now Im expecting to get both, Im also expecting XB1SX to be more expensive by virtue of it being a more powerful box.
The thing that may deter me is if XB1SX ends up a cheaper box than the PS5, I'd probably hold off on getting a PS5 at launch anyways.

I'm preordering a PS5 as soon as they let me provided it doesn't cost more than $500. I have no interest in picking up a Series X at launch.
The only thing that would sway me from buying a PS5 at launch is if it's something crazy like £600+ and the Series X was free on a very reasonable £20 monthly contract or something.
Edit, that's a lie, I'm buying a PS5. Series X down the line when Flight Sim launches perhaps!

I'm getting a PS5 at some stage, that is a done deal. If the console is crazy expensive on day 1 I'll just wait.
What? Sony has loads of exclusive IPs.

The PS5 could drop at iPhone prices and I'm picking it up. The Xbox.. eh, I'm more compelled to build a robust PC.
Price mostly factors in as to when I'll buy one. I'll almost definitely go Sony again, but we'll see how long I last past launch. The sales will only get deeper as time goes on.
Based on the poll options, I'm guessing OP means whether price is a factor in choosing between PS and Xbox, which it isn't (at least for me). Don't see myself ever buying or investing in the Xbox ecosystem, even if the console is cheaper.
If I do get a next gen console, it will be a PS5 since I already have a handful of PS4 games with which it should be BC and, as far as consoles are concerned, have exclusively been a PS gamer since the PS1. However, if and when I get around to buying a PS5 will absolutely depend on price and other factors, such as the availability of enticing exclusives. Guessing that'll be whenever GTA VI releases (assuming Rockstar once again delays and denies the existence of the inevitable PC version).
