Reasons why you did not get a PS5 PREORDER..
- Thread starter Booker.DeWitt
- Start date
1. Current available expendable income.
2. Ridiculous backlog spread across PS4 and multiple sealed / new Vita games.
3. I've only had my Pro for three years + some change and apart from the turbo extra loud room-heater of a fan, I suspect I'll get a lot of use out of it for the next year to 18 months.
4. Miles Morales, Cyberpunk, Telling Lies, THPS1+2, (RE8? , FFVIIR part Deux? FFXVI?) are all games I have or will buy for PS4.
Edit:
I voted for revision, but realistically I'll probably buy the DiscDrive one next April/May.

will trade in my PS4, two remotes, and animal crossing for like £240 pounds in store.
i want the PS5, Demons Souls, Miles, and the 3d headset so thats quite a bit out of my account, got to soften the blow somehow. Plus no need for a PS4 anymore really is there

I never buy a new console until a game comes out that I must play. Once that happens, whatever game it is, I will get a PS5 maybe a month before that game releases
I can play Spiderman: MM without an upgrade. I'll be upgrading my PC and maybe trying GamePass.
I want to wait for a new model or color. I hate white stuff. I like it as an option but not for it to be the only option. White stuff always, always gets ruined even if you treat it like a baby.
Also, I have learned my lesson about buying launch consoles. I bought my PS4 during the first year, didn't play it too much until games I wanted came out, then switched to a Slim when it came out then upgraded to a Pro after that. If I had just been patient, I would have saved a lot of money along the way.
So I'll buy exclusives that I want to play but aren't enough to motivate me to buy one, and then when big titles that I love like KH or FF release, then I'll pick the console up and play.
I'd rather get through my PS4 and PS3 backlog first.

Nothing I want at launch that "I can't get on PS4. If I can get on XBox Access I may get a Series X though. I have a big, digital backlog on the Xbox.
No games, and I'd rather get a slim or pro in two years. Since I have a PC for multiplats, consoles are about exclusives to me, and the PS4 seems like it'll be getting most of the PS5's for the time being.
My thoughts exactly.
I have 3 platinum trophies in DeS, so I can wait and buy it used down the line on the cheaper side. €80 is just too fuckin' greedy.
Too much of a hassle to try and secure one at launch. I'll just wait until next spring like I did with PS4 after it's launch, and luckily for me, the two games I was most interested in are coming out in some form on PS4 (Miles Morales and the Vergil DLC for DMC5)
Overslept. But I had a really good sleep so I don't feel bad about it.
Currently have an Amazon alert for when it comes back in stock.
If i also miss the Xbox Series X preorders then i'll be in trouble.

I only really use portables these days, but if I did want a home console, I wouldn't buy at launch, let alone pre-order. Why pay the most it'll ever be for the worst quality hardware and smallest range of games it will ever have? A bit of patience pays dividends.
-$500 is a lot and the disc-less version is useless for me. I'm not big on high end graphics and realistic ones put me off. I'm still using a 720p tv too.
-None of the launch window exclusive games appeal to me outside of Ratchet & Clank.
-Playstation's backward compatability is lacking compared to Xbox. I have a large stack of PS2, PS3 & 360 games in my backlog. Only one system will let me play some of them.
-A number of cool looking titles like Kena: Bridge of Spirits will be on the PS4 as well.
-A lack of Japanese developed games, especially from Sony, that I'm into. I'm not big on the Souls games and Ghostwire Tokyo is a wait and see.
-Gamepass for Xbox looks cool. This combined with the Yakuza series appearing to be day and date on the Xbox, makes switching to an Xbox this gen (or buying one first) much more appealing. I don't see myself buying either until they go down in price though.
-I'll wait to get one when a few cool looking exclusive Japanese games show up. Maybe when Final Fantasy 16 comes out, but I expect a number of Switch ports of non AAA games (unless the Switch Pro is real? IDK).
-$70 games, luckily Sony titles usually get discounted pretty quickly.
-The PS5 Plus Collection might be a selling point to some people, but I won't subscribe to Plus and I own all the games on the list that I have any interest in.

Same, as that is why i hit fast f5 for a 3080 and got one. I have to say that i did enjoy the sony conference becuase the majority of stuff is actually coming to PC so...
None of the launch titles justify getting one on release, that and I have a massive backlog of games that I actually want to play so there is no reason to rush into getting into next gen just yet.
Realistically, not having enough launch titles (FF16 and GoW 2 are things I want, though these are understandable), way too many titles are cross gen (Horizon 2, Cyberpunk, etc) and personally can wait to play R+C and Demon's Souls, considering my backlog.
Also, Nintendo is fucking killing it with MH Rise, Stories 2, SMT V, Pikmin 3, SM3DW and likely BoTW 2 coming out in the next year.
I can frankly just wait until something pushes me over the edge to wanting it.

- Ps4 still feels like it has a ton of legs left (As evidenced with things like miles morales and hzd now being cross gen)
- Not seeing a ton (or any) innovation on a system level compared to jumping from ps3 to ps4 (share button, touch digital downloads/preloading, standby/suspend mode etc)
- Felt like a bit of a slap in the face being an earlier adopter for the ps4 only for them to trot out some kind of mid generation upgrade with the Pro.
- Would like to see more services with emphasis on consumer value. Something that would rival Gamepass at the very least.
The games are just too damn expensive, the console price is already a bit more than I wanted to spend (wanted the disc version.) But the games being £70? That's a big no from me dawg.
Also I'm really not liking how Sony have approached this and that Microsoft have made some great pro consumer moves. If there was a Sony gamepass with new titles on there Is be there day one. As it stands I'll wait for God of War and see how I feel after that.
