Yeah, I'll get both. I haven't missed a launch since the PS1, so why start now? They'll both have enough games to make it worthwhile.

If PS5 and XSX launch within a week of each other is anyone planning on picking up BOTH at launch
- Thread starter asmith906

I don't even know if I want either of them right now, still need to see prices and launch libraries.
If I didn't have a PC I'd grab both. For now, it's PS5. If the X has console exclusives that aren't coming to PC, I'll probably pick it up as well.
Day one for series X, would also get a lockhart for my kids on day one before i even thought about getting a PS5.
I'll get both day 1. You would be a fool to think you will be able to walk into a store and just pick up a PS5/XSX easily in Jan/Feb heck maybe till summer 2021. That said I'll just get both right away so I dont have to search or use NowInstock.
No. Funds wise I could swing it but I simply don't see the need for two consoles at launch with limited games and limited time. I'll get one at launch or within 6 months (likely PS5) and possibly pickup the Xbox later on if I do. All games and systems will be cheaper with a little patience. The systems may not be if you don't want to wait around much.
But you do you man!

I could but I don't have the free time to justify getting both at the same time. I'll likely grab the PS5 at launch and wait on the Xbox.
Pretty sure it will be a PS5 + PC gen for me. Gamepass is great, but I do not need an Xbox for it. Furthermore, already seeing the drawback of such a service with games being removed from Gamepass. I wanted to play Rise of the Tomb Raider, but didn't get to it in time. Not a big deal, but just a reminder that access to games will change when deals expire.
PS5 first, then Series X.
Unless MS has XSX exclusives ready at launch, I see now reason to get it Day 1 when I can play Halo Infinite on my One X with Gamepass.

I am getting both, both services are good enough now and with BC, PS now, Gamepass it justifies the purchase.
If you are buying XGS games or gamepass you are a part of the ecosystem anyway. I'd say the only differentiator is the 360 and og Xbox backwards compatibility available on XSX. Nice to have all four gens of Xbox games on one machine.
It's a good point. I always keep my old consoles but if you're not interested in collecting backwards compatibility is a great thing. You will likely not need your old systems.
PS5 for me cause I love the Sony's exclusives. I have not been a fan of MS's current exclusives and most multiplat games come to PC anyway.
Wait I find appalling are the assumptions made about price and how multiplatform games will perform on either consoles. ResetEra never disappoints.

No? I've little had any interest in XBox exclusives, MS making them available on PC means the little interest I had turn to zero. Hell, I bought a PS4 Pro (the White Destiny 2 bundle one) back in 2017 and I haven't really played a game on it in like a year. I should probably sell it.
Because 'PC' spans the whole gamut from ultra books with integrated graphics, MacBooks with iGPUs, Chromebooks, low powered desktops etc. would you get a similar gaming experience on an Asus gaming laptop with a 1050Ti GPU? Or a Surface Pro 7?
There are many, many reasons why people with PCs would choose to get an Xbox.
I have a reasonably powerful PC, with plans to upgrade to the 3080 GPU down the line. Yet I plan to get both consoles at launch.
This is a point I wholeheartedly agree with. Besides, my SO might kick me out if both machines were to appear at home without selling my pro and switch.
I'm curious...will we ever have true cross play? I'd like to play games with my sister, who has an Xbox...RDO or FO76. I won't game at 30 fps, so that doesn't currently work. Ideally I'd just stick to PC and PS5, but if XSX has those games at 60 fps, I'd buy one, pick up s PS5 down the road.
My current plan is XSX at launch, PS5 a year or so later. The actual launch games and services could change this though.
I always get new consoles at launch, so yeah, I'll be picking up both this holiday season. Here's to to good games on the two of them and Nintendo Switch!
Honestly even if I had the money, which I most certainly don't.
having two new consoles around the same time would be overwhelming.

Nah. PS5 only for now. Microsoft exclusives don't really excite me that much. I'm not totally against the XSX, but I have a very strong PC, so I can just pick up a game on that if it's not available on PS5. I'll consider the XSX if Microsoft changes their PC porting stance.
Yup, PS5 for all the great Sony titles that I love, and Xbox because my friends mostly use it for online. Like the variety of having all the systems. Even though I could use my gaming PC to play Xbox games, I'm still unsure if they will have cross play between PC/Xbox for something like Halo anyway, so its a moot point, as that group of friends are console only anyway.
