How many of you guys here are planning on upgrading to next generation right away?

Upgrading to a 7nm Nvidia Ti card next year. Sony will need an impressive launch lineup to get me in day one on PS5.
Regarding PS5 it depends on price and what they have to offer.
But it is very unlikely that I buy Xbox Next at launch because the Xbox One was a huge disappointment after Xbox 360. Beside that I am planning on buying a new PC next year so I can probably play Xbox "exclusives" there.

Waiting on the Ps5 for sure. Won't be getting new Xbox. I just built a new rig 4 months ago with a 9700k and 2080. I am good for a while. If anything, I will probably sell my 2080 and upgrade to the 3000 series RTX cards.
I have $200+ in trade credit to use before GameStop is eventually no more and PS5 will be able to play my entire PS4 library and support UHD blurays in addition loading and launching games faster.
So yeah, there's a high chance I trade in my PS4 Pro and combine it with trade credit to pick this up early. The only thing that will give me pause is if we're still in middle of this trade war fuckery. Won't want to buy it if it's already overpriced

I feel like I've always waited for the slim version before, but I have a higher income now, so I might get it sooner. Though it'll take A LOT to make me dip at launch, might wait a year or something. Depends on the price.
Sticking with PC next gen, my PS4 was basically a Yakuza machine and any time I tried a Sony exclusive I didn't like it. Between PC and Nintendo I can play pretty much everything I want.
As always, it depends on the launch games. If Horizon 2 and Ratchet & Clank are both there for PS5, I'm there day 1.
Didn't we have this thread last week?
As always, depends on the games. I'll be on PC for thr most part.

I'll probably trade in/sell my x and pro and grab a ps5.
Gamepass is actually making that hard though.

I want to say Day 1, but it's also dependent on whether I can find a new 4K TV that I like; otherwise I'll still be rockin' a 10-year old HD set and I want my first PS5 experience to be in glorious 4K.
With backwards compatibility I see no reason to wait except to get a lower cost by a factor of lost time. But if I move to sell my Pro soon enough I'll recoup pretty close to what I paid at $300 so no biggie. I'm looking to get closer parity with my gaming PC asap.
I've got a PC, so I'll wait for good exclusives. That and any launch console usually have kinks that need to be fixed.
Hell yeah. And i'll be getting a PS5 pro when that comes out too. But if this gen has proven anything to me it is that as an adult there is realistically only enough room for one system in my life. So for the first time ever I won't be bothering with the other systems. Which will make the mid gen refresh much easier to accept.
I have never bought a console or handheld at launch (unless you're counting, like, the GBA SP or New 3DS). Partly because of financial issues that tended to align with launch times, but mainly just because there were never games I wanted. I'm not opposed to the idea but yeah I wasn't going to buy a PS4 to play Resogun or Knack or whatever.
One thing that might be a gamechanger this time around is backwards compatibility. That's a big part of why I've been mainly PC for a lot of my life. But if I can play Monster Hunter World or the Yakuza games with better framerates and loadtimes I'd consider it.

If the PS5 has full BC with PS4 I'll buy it in its first year, if it doesn't I'll just buy a PS4 instead.
I wait, but not as long as stated in the poll. I got my PS4 in Aug 2014 (so 9 months after launch) once I felt there wasn't a red ring situation or as much worry about a defective unit.
Depends on the money for me. If it's a $600 console, I'm almost certainly going to have to wait. There's no way around it for me, as I'm getting married this month and will have to rebuild that savings we're using for the reception / vacation.
I'm in if the circumstances are right.
If Xbox have several games ready on gamepass day one then I'm most certainly in.

For me it depends on the level of that backwards compatibility. For the games I own I want disc support, digital support, and for the games to behave as though they were on a PS4Pro. Preferably better.
Sure...lofty expectations, but switching to a common architecture and more common parts should make that stuff easier.
I'm going to wait and see what they have to offer at launch before I decide. If Halo Infinite marks a return to form for the series and there is a number of other great games for the Scarlett, then maybe?
I'll be waiting either way. If Next Gen lets me down as much as this in terms of Sony's and MS's first party output / exclusives, I'll probably get a gaming PC and stick to Nintendo for consoles. I'm also sick of paying that much money for Online, so that plays a role, too.
