If PS5 and XSX launch within a week of each other is anyone planning on picking up BOTH at launch

Same here. I really like what MS is doing with the XSX, and Game Pass plus the BC and the console itself all look really interesting and compelling, but with Play Anywhere being a thing it doesn't look like I'd need an XSX as much.
As I have a PC, I will never buy an Xbox.
Wait, wasn't WW3 postponed? What the hell happened today!

I am buying them both day one regardless and skipping upgrading my 1080ti this year . I am not interested to change my i5 9600k and my gpu and pay 1000$ plus just to have a barely better performance than ps5 and Xbox series x and none of the exclusives ( at least Sony exclusives )
so yeah I am there day one for both consoles

PS5 for day one. Sony has never let me down in any generation so it's a must buy for me.
Bought a One X about 2 years ago, but hardly every play it. Feels like a waste and I'm not too interested in Halo, so unless they have something crazy next gen exclusive at launch I can't really justify it.

As I have with every generation since MS has been in the game both will be preordered the day they become available to order and will immediately replace my Xbox one and PS4. Now the real question is what will be my primary machine to use, that is yet to be determined. I've flip flopped every generation from PS2 to XB360 back to PS4 as my primary machine so we will see if I go back to MS as primary this gen.
Lol, there is no easy choice. Most people don't even like gaming on a PC which explains why month after month on the top software charts most Playstation titles are those also found on the PC. The Xbox still exists because of that reason, most don't play on PC or have a good enough PC.
like many here, depends on the launch lineup. i have a killer PC so i would need some good exclusives. especially if microsoft continues porting everything
I've bought every Nintendo, Sony and MS system day one since the SNES (yes including the Wii U, but no not including the virtual boy). Never regretted it once.
I'm gonna get both. Mainly because of exclusived. But the xsx will be my primary system because I ready have a large catalog with them.
of course there are way more console players then PC players but it's not because people 'don't like gaming on a PC'...if given a choice most people do prefer PC...the issue is that most people don't know how to or don't like building one
If I can get a preorder for both, I will try to get both at launch. But I am mostly leaning for Xbox Series just cause I want to play the new Halo on the best platform. That and I am not really impressed with the PS5 lineup at launch and the uncertainty with backwards comp on PS5. If both are $500, plan is XSX at launch, PS5 in 2021 or whenever Horizon comes out.
Money willing I'll get one around launch and one a few months later. The one I get first hasn't been decided yet.
I have serious fomo so yes I'll probably end up with both in the first week if they're available.
If i can snag a pre-order for both i definitely will because i love me some old fashion new console launch goodness
PS5 day one (as long as I can procure a preorder). Series X later since I have an Xbox One X.
Demon's Souls remake is the sole game pushing me to PS5. Heres to hoping we get just as many PS5 first party greats as PS4.

I'm a one console guy now. Prior to my early 40s I used to get two consoles but parenting takes a priority. 80% I'm jumping ship next gen from Playstation to Xbox like I usually do (swapping consoles each gen) as I have a stack of 360 xbla titles that I'd love be to play again. Plus I'd have current gen to catch up on via BC.
I might buy both to sell em but other than that only way I'd keep one would be if the XSX had backward compatibility with otogi or one of them had some game at launch I've been dying for which so far PS5 has none and Xbox should all be on PC.

This for me, but reverse the consoles. And I can't say it's likely I'll ever buy an Xbox. Never have, and I haven't been convinced to start now.
I'm definitely getting a PS5 at launch and was planning on getting an XSX also, but I think I'm going to hold off on the XSX until I see what Nvidia has in store with their next gen GPUs (Titan and Ti cards). I'm a PC Gamer first and every game I care to play on Xbox is also on PC, so I'd rather play it on PC. However, the XSX is a beast of a machine and if Nvidia can't offer anything substantially better performance wise for their next top end GPUs, then I will probably get the XSX and sit out the RTX 3 series and wait for the 4 series before I get back into PC gaming.

You can't really make any assumptions about titles right now. Sony has Spider-Man and Microsoft has Halo. We need more info.
If I was rich, sure. But I only have money for one, and it will the PS5. I need to play the next God of War. It's my favorite game of all time. If I become rich between now and then though, I'll buy both and a Switch.
I would love to get both. The idea of just paying for Gamepass and getting access to Halo and a bunch of other stuff is helping me justify upfront cost of an XSX. However, the most likely scenario is that I'll pick up a PS5 first and hold off on XSX for a bit.
Definitely xsx, I know there are plenty stuff to play around. Besides launch titles, I can try gears 5 and probably fh4 for the enhancement done by dev. Not only that, I can try prev gens games to see how MS enhance HDR, framerate, resolution, etc.
For PS5, except spider-man and several launch titles, I don't know what else can try that can last for months. There is no urgency for me to get ps5 within the launch window at least.
