I'm absolutely super hyped for my PS5 and next gen in general. Almost can't think about much else at the moment

The next-gen consoles are officially getting released next week. How excited are you? I am very excited!

- Start date
I think I have never been as excited because I have never had the means to go this all in on a gen. New TV and soundbar included.
I was extremely excited until I realized that Amazon probably won't ship out my Xbox Series X before launch. I still don't have a delivery date with only a week to go, so it's looking pretty likely that I won't be getting it until later. There are also few XSX games to play yet compared to PS5, so that dampens my excitement a good bit as well. I'm definitely looking forward to it, but my hype has died down considerably because I don't know when exactly I'll be able to enjoy my new console.
Don't care, really. In one year or two it will be good, but nothing about the launch excites me.
There's one thing that I would like to try (NMS VR on PS5) and I can't because they couldn't give any less of a fuck about VR, with a new camera that doesn't support it and needing an adapter for the older one to work. Good job Sony.

I'm super excited. So excited I've considered really trying to grab a Series X despite there being little of interest on the console for me til Avowed probably. I never preordered one but as we get closer I'm just sort of like...I want it.
PS5 I'm pumped for. Really excited to play Spiderman, and my wife wants to play sackboy with me. She never wants to play games so thats got me even more excited than I would've been..

Same here. Extremely excited...but....election is like this raincloud that could either downpour at any time and flood everything...or it could break up quickly and the sunshine could come out...
Going to be a good chaser for whatever happens tomorrow with the election. If Biden wins then woo hoo time to get down with some celebratory Demon's Souls if not well at least we have new consoles to distract us from the next 4 years.
I've never been so excited to allot $300 to something a month and a half in advance that I have no clue about
For now, I am looking forward to quick resume and faster load times. For me, the quality leap between these two generations won't be obvious for a while.
What I want to see is better games; great characters, good stories and engaging worlds.

The Dreamcast was my most hyped console pre-launch ever for me. The PS5 right now is a close second.
I wouldn't have even preordered had it not been so easy. I'm going with it because I figure I'll actually have a good reason to want it sooner or later.
It's pretty much all that's in my mind too. All I can think about is my appointment to pick up my PS5 from Best Buy going smoothly lol
This same thread was made about a week ago or so and in that one I put that I was not too excited, but that has changed and I am very excited.
Will be picking up my Series X on Tuesday morning. I have moved all of my Xbox One, OG Xbox and 360 games onto two 4tb SSD's (getting rid of my HDD's). I also have a few games pre-ordered/pre-installed via Game Pass.
Then a few days later will pick up my PS5. I bought a standard 1tb SSD for storage of PS4 games and when they finally announce which internal SSD's work the same as the internal will get one of those.
But pretty excited now. Can't wait!

I don't have a pre-order so I'm tempering my excitement. I'm sure once I find a Series X online I'll be chomping at the bit to get it in my house. All the reviews and previews will keep me occupied until then.
I'm not massively excited, but I know when it arrives and I'm plugging it in I'll be feeling good.
Just wish there was some amazing new game to try out, but there's nothing at the moment for me.

Admittedly not very excited. I'm mostly going to be playing what I already play on PS4.... I probably won't buy any ps5 launch titles yet. I won't truly be excited until I'm playing FFXVI on my ps5 because that is a day I can't wait for and the whole reason for my ps5 purchase. So for now nope. And I also can't bring myself to care about Xbox series x since Halo is having problems. Unless they announce some exclusives jrpgs I won't be picking one up.
I keep checking to see if I got charged for my Xbox Series X from the Microsoft Store like every few minutes. So I'm excited. Hah. Take my money already!
I'm hoping to also get a PlayStation 5 soon if I can, somehow. Until then, I plan to just play Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 4.

Not really excited. To be honest I'm more excited to play Pikmin 3 for the first time than anything exclusive to either the Series X or PS5. Hopefully they'll pick up steam with more exclusives eventually but for now all the next-gen games I'd want to play are releasing on current gen platforms as well (Miles Morales, Sackboy, Black Ops Cold War)
Not excited. The consoles have too much mystery shrouded around them for being so close to coming out. More excited for the future however as these consoles will actually have multiple next generation exclusives worth buying by then. So far the Medium is the neatest game on Next Gen to me that is launching soon. Cyberpunk honestly is the game I was looking forward to this year more than anything and having a high end PC kind of really takes the wind out the graphics of these consoles for me as well.
I'm over here in SoCal hoping and praying our COVID numbers don't spike enough to force another shutdown before I can pick my PS5 up at GameStop. With all the Halloween parties and no masks I saw on Instagram over the weekend, the numbers next week may be rough.
Sometimes I get excited but... in all honesty, the state of the world just kinda zapped all the new gen hype away. Not being able to meet up with people to enjoy it or check it out at stores is a giant bummer.
Plus the election has me a bit worried. There's just too much going on right now. I'll turn my attention to next gen sometime in the future for sure. But the launch hype is less than usual just from everything else going on right now.

Been rocking base systems for 7 years. Got a 4K tv finally. Can't wait to play all my favorites super charged and await a new generation.
I'm far more excited for the PS5 than I was for the PS4. So ready for cartridge-era fast load times, the new controller, plus free upgrades for cross gen games (which means not having to rebuy MK11 and keeping my super cheap Cyberpunk PS4 preorder), and a new Spider-Man game at launch.
Normally I'm frothing at the mouth for new consoles but a few months ago I built a high end gaming PC and was amazed at the difference in graphical quality over the PS4 Pro. I'm really into eye candy in games and felt like I'd wasted the "wow" factor playing some of these games for the first time on inferior hardware. Another HUGE perk on PC is not losing all my downloaded games everytime a new gen rolls around. It's cool that PS5 can play PS4 games but who knows it PS6 will play PS4, 5 etc. I'd rather just buy most of my stuff on PC and not leave this sorta thing to chance.
Besides all this I would still buy a PS5 if there was a black colour and any launch games I actually wanted. Demon's Souls is the only one that looks good but I finished this when it originally launched on PS3 and I'm not really into replaying stuff atm.

Fairly excited, I won't really be able to fully enjoy it until December 8Th when Destiny 2 ps5 patch comes.
Would have been more excited if I could buy spider man remastered separately. Or put my Ps4 spider man disc in and get a option to upgrade it for a fee. Now I wait for a sale.

I was fortunate enough to secure both XSX and PS5. I'm not that excited for the launch. This should change next year or so when games start taking advantage of their hardware capabilities
These will be my first Sony / Microsoft launch consoles.
If a new Nintendo console was launching however, I would be far more excited.

I'm pretty excited.
It still feels a little too early, not enough interesting new releases on the horizon yet. And not much news on how the older games are getting enhanced (I need more 4K X enhanced games, c'mon).
I won't be there day 1, but I look forward to all the impressions posted here when they launch.

For the first time in my life, I don't give a fuck.
I guess I'll get a next gen console a few years from now but neither Ms nor Sony have done the bare minimum to get me interested in new hardware.

I was always looking forward to it, fun to watch all the hype, but I've certainly gotten much more excited over the last few weeks as coverage and discussions keep growing. I've got an XSX coming, and hopefully I'll find a PS5 Digital before the end of the year, though I won't hold my breath.
Either way, I'm pumped and ready for these consoles to finally be in people's hands!
