How many of you guys here are planning on upgrading to next generation right away?
- Thread starter Derktron
- Start date
I'll wait until at least the first revision of the PS5 Slim, I'm not gonna throw away money by buying a console that stops working after like a year or two.
Most important option:
It depends on the launch lineup.
This will sway people in either direction. The Wii U was the first Nintendo console that I didn't grab at launch. I saw the game lineup and I had already learned my lesson from the 3DS.
I should have waited on the XBox One. God it collected so much dust.

I'll buy it as soon as there is a great title that compels an upgrade. If that's day one, then day one. If later, then later.
I have an X1X and a PS4 Pro i'll be trading in meaning it's not gonna cost me much to be there day 1 so i'm jumping right in. Going by Microsoft's past backwards compatibility goodness i am expecting my eternal backlog of games to probably run better in some way even though i doubt there will be any Scarlett exclusive games that aren't cross-gen to justify the purchase. If i get a good few years out of it before a mid gen upgrades emerges i'll still consider it worthwhile.
I like to wait for a revision that runs quieter with better cooling/thermals.
Edit:
However, if there is a Gran Turismo at or near launch of PS5, I'm buying right away.

Yeah. I'm trying not to sound like a jackass, but launch console prices aren't that high for the amount of enjoyment you get out of them over 4-6 years. I felt the same way back when I was in college and not earning a salary, too. Even at $600....that's $120 a year over five years. That's not bad at all. That's one fucking night's bar tab for you and a date. I'm not gonna wait one or two years and have severe FOMO in my main hobby just to save one bar tab in cost.
If the price is right then right away as I'm planning to skip the late games this gen (death stranding, LoU2) cause you know theyll be cross gen.
I play most of my games on PC, so it depends on the launch exclusives. Based on the previous 2 generations, I probably won't be in a rush.
True, but BC with insane loading times and more fps/resolution, plus a few launch exclusives are good enough for me.
Being realistic, this is my situation as well. Just between Vita and PS4 there's a whole lot I want to play still, and that's only two systems. I don't think the PS5 games are really going to be there early on, so there's a lot of merit in waiting. Also, my experience with having the Switch early and watching the PS4's launch and early years is that that waiting is probably the better idea and I don't personally care as much about being onboard as fast as possible - I'd rather jump in when the library is big and in its stride, and there are good bundle deals available. So waiting for a price drop and/or mid-gen refresh is probably the prudent choice.
The one thing that makes me unsure of whether I'll stick to that is the BC aspect - since PS5 has BC I probably wont' get as much for my PS4 Pro as I would if I jumped right in, even if I just used the PS5 to play PS4 games early on. I'm still waiting to see how things will shake up, but hopefully I'll be able to wait till the refreshes come along.
Damn dude, you must be drinking that good shit. I don't think I've ever come close to spending $100+ at a bar, even when buying drinks for others.
I learned my lesson buying PS3 at launch. Then I forgot that lesson and bought a 3DS at launch, only to witness that dramatic price cut months later. Think I can wait a year or two after the next gen gets going.
I just upgraded my PC with a 5700 XT, 3700X and 16GB DDR4 RAM.
For when next gen consoles land, which I'll 99% grab at launch, I snagged a 32" 1440p 144Hz FreeSync monitor. After reading the PS5 will support 120Hz, I decided it was time to upgrade my monitor.

PS5 day 1. If Sony will announce enhanced backwards compatibility on the PS meeting I will hold to play (at least) Ghost of Tsushima on PS5.
I am upgrading my PC very often. A few weeks ago I added a second (1TB) faster (PCIe) SSD and I am waiting the new Nvidia 7nm Ampere GPUs to upgrade my 1080Ti.

Canadian. So I guess, $80 US?
Like, 3-4 rounds of beers, two appy plates to share, and or an entree, tax and tip? $100+ easily in Toronto. EASILY.
Maybe the cost of living is so fucking high in this city and that's colouring my opinion of this, but yeah, I've always found gaming to be a super affordable hobby, in terms of entertainment time relative to cost.
Maybe the
I'm absolutely going to be there on day one. Though I'm thinking I'll only get one next-gen console to start.
Technically, I should upgrade my PS4 first, but it all depends on what games are available on PS5 and how well Xbox One X fairs for cross-gen titles.

I'll probably upgrade my 980ti in the next year for Cyberpunk. If the PS5 is reasonable I might consider it just for the couple exclusives I'll end up playing on it
The question is do I order and wait for day one delivery, or preorder at a physical store to get it at midnight. That is what I need to decide.
For sure upgrading on Day one. I'm pretty confident that we're going to get some worthwhile launch titles for both platforms. there's also backwards compatibility(as least for PS5 so far) as well to hold you over as well.
I'll buy Nintendo's next system (Super Switch? Switch 2?) on day one, as always.
The PS5 and Scarlet are going to need to REEEEEALLY wow me somehow, otherwise I'm just pumping that cash into PC upgrades.

I wonder If I'll upgrade at all. I have little time to play and Switch taking all that time. BC on XBX seems great. Maybe that is a better option for me.
Also, I don't know if my favorite franchises will be in next gen hardware. Yakuza probably will be PS4 for a long time. Sonic will be on Switch. I don't if will be a Shenmue 4, Virtua Fighter is dead, arxade racers are gone...
