We are now (unofficially) less than a year away from the launch of the PS5 and the Xbox Scarlett

[Admiral Woofington]

I don't really need PS5 until a killer game is out. Unlike with ps4 where I was gaming on it primarily and also it doubled as my entertainment center I now have my viewing apps on my fire TV stick/cube and my pc for gaming.

So I can always wait if it's releasing with boring exclusives or largely third party titles.

 

[ImaginaShawn]

Budgeted for both, but might wait on PS5.

 

[gnexus]

Even though I have a pretty good gaming PC, I'll still be there day 1. Only for one console though, leaning more towards Scarlett right now

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Excited but won't be getting it at launch.

Maybe 1 year later or so.

 

[LightKiosk]

I have a "next-gen PC" but I'll still be on PS5 day one so I can properly use this 1440p monitor for console games.

 

[Jahranimo]

Aww yeah less than a year away from a bunch of sports, shooter ports, cross gen titles and if we're lucky ONE banger of a launch title!

 

[Hanbei]

I am mildly excited. I probably won't buy any new gen console on day one though.

It's not like 2020 won't give us anything to play though lol. Think it's one of the most loaded years I've ever seen.

 

[RedRum]

Still too early for the hype. Need to wait until E3 gets here.

 

[Temascos]

I have yet to get any of the current systems, and thanks to BC I might as well wait until these brand new machines come out. I'm looking forward to playing Horizon: Zero Dawn on PS5! :)

 

[Secretofmateria]

Its like all i can think about Im so excited. Im still undecided on scarlet or ps5 at launch. The line up will be a huge deciding factor and halo and forza are hard to turn down...BUT a horizon zero dawn 2 and ff7 remake remaining playstation exclusive will be just as tough to turn down.

 

[jaymzi]

I don't expect anything more than 1 amazing exclusive at launch so whether I get it at launch or not will depend on if BC PS4 games get a decent performance boost.

 

[Deleted member 4067]

Scarlett day 1
With Halo Infinite and Watch Dogs 3 so far

PS5 maybe if it has something good. Dont care about Horizon or the Demons Souls remake without From

 

[Deleted member 5764]

Hell yeah! I'm really excited to see what next-gen consoles will bring. The hardest part will be picking which one to get first, as I know I don't have the time to devote to both if they launch near each other. The odds heavily favor Xbox right now but there are quite a few factors that might change my mind.

Is it next year yet?

 

[Massicot]

I'm moderately excited, but it all depends on if PS5 (or Scarlett) will have a must-have launch exclusive or not. Don't really care too much about a crossgen res-bump or anything multiplat.

I say that now, but I'll probably just cave and get it day 1 to be with the zeitgeist, lol.

 

[Cyborg]

Day 1 baby!

 

[Deleted member 32561]

The only way I'd even consider launch day PS5 is if that's where Ghosts of Tsushima ran off to. And even then, the history of games being not just ported but outright made exclusive for new hardware after being announced for older hardware isn't exactly stellar, IIRC, so... might wait for reviews.

At any rate, outside of that, I'm just plum not interested in upgrading for next gen yet. It feels like the current gen just barely started. I know factually it's been more like 5 years now, but still. There's a lot of potential left in these machines...

Also OP how could you forget Nioh 2 for great looking current gen games?! Come on now!

 

[pikachief]

I get hyped for new tech especially for gaming. I'll probably get one of the consoles at midnight then just fawn over menus and the UI then play something the next day lol

 

[Neoxon]

I'll jump in once a next-gen Capcom fighting game is announced. That plus I need more time to save up money for a PS5.

 

[vivftp]

I'm ordering 3 PS5s day 1. 1 for me and 1 to give the nieces and nephews for Christmas.

Gonna be glorious.

 

[Whatislove]

I've been ready for years now. I'm in day 1.

 

[BadWeddingSpeech]

Im day one on the ps5.

 

[Molecule]

I'm excited but it'll be the first gen I don't go in day 1. I'll wait for enough games and maybe a price drop.

This is me, lol. I analyze the UI, menus on first boot.

 

[residentgrigo]

I am excited but I will not buy a next-gen console on launch. I´ll wait about 1 year to get the PS5 due to my PS4 Pro and my gaming PC. Who knows about the Scarlet. Especially after the PC became an official Xbox platform. That wait is destined to be longer.

 

[xtib81]

I'm so pumped. Day 0. I'll likely get TLOU2, Tsushima, Cyberpunk and all the big hitters on PS5

 

[Sub Boss]

Its probably gonna be the same as this gen for me, day whatever FFVII2 DMC VI or RE8 releases, i assume the last two have bigger chances of releasing sooner

 

[Rockstar]

Greatness awaits once again!!

Why limit yourself? Your PC will handle every/all MS exclusives. Seems like a PlayStation would be a better choice in this scenario.

 

[GlitchyDegree]

Just bought a Xbox One S so I'm not really interested in getting another expensive console next year. But depending on the price I might get Xbox All Access.

 

[halfjoey]

I am dead set on PS5 at launch, but the Microsoft's value's proposition with Game Pass is very tempting and I never even bought an Xbox One.
I almost feel like I have to buy a NextBox or I'll be missing out on a lot.

I don't think I can justify two consoles purchases at the end of 2020 and who knows was Nintendo is up to.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

It will all depend on the games they have to launch with. If it's mostly just stuff that will release on current gen systems I see no reason to make the jump at launch.

 

[Kazer]

I'll probably wait 2 years like I did with the PS4 unless there are some damn good exclusives.

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

Depends on the launch lineup. I'll probably get the Xbox, assuming game pass keeps delivering the goods.
I'll get a PS if they ever have another Fromsoft exclusive that's more like Souls/BB and not Sekiro.

 

[Trieu]

Insane how time flies. I am looking more forward to next generation than I did to current gen and I already looked forward to that a lot. Very excited about what they can do with ray tracing and new hardware. The first games on the new console will look great, but they won't be a 5x leap compared to like Death Stranding, RDR2, The Last of Us 2, Resident Evil 2 and so on. It will probably take a few years into the new generation to see what they are truly capable of, but I expect great things!

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

100% day one for PS5.

Also day one for Switch Pro / Switch 2, if or when they announce it.

Microsoft needs to show me some really good games and more new IP's, to get me to buy Scarlett.

I loved the original Xbox and 360 but this gen, Xbox One disappointed and just didn't have enough for me to buy it. I'd hate to spend money on Scarlett, only for the same thing to happen.

 

[gooner4life]

If I'm still mainly playing Fortnite then I'll probably hold off on Day 1, my 5 year old PC still plays Fortnite at 240fps on low settings, PS5 and Scarlett wont match that.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I'll get a PS5 day 1 not because I'm excited, but because it's an excuse to upgrade and get rid of my PS4. If backwards compatability wasn't a thing I wouldn't really care at this point.

But my next gen hype will go in to overdrive once PSVR2 gets revealed. That's the real next gen.

 

[adobot]

PS5 Day 1!

 

[Dabanton]

I'm there but until E3 or until we have a better idea of launch games my hype is low.

 

[Tohsaka]

Not really excited since I still have a 1080p TV and it feels like it would be kind of a waste to get new consoles that focus on higher resolutions/HDR etc.

 

[Asbsand]

I still remember when I was hyping up that faceless "Next Gen Mass Effect" and what an underwhelming outcome it had. So I'm not excited about next gen. I'm only excited at the prospect of seeing all new games that might have new technical advantages be shown.

 

[Searsy82]

Day 1 for both.

 

[Sordid Plebeian]

Depends on if Infinite is worth the upgrade

 

[Zemst]

I'll jump ship when a good exclusive rpg is announced for it.

 

[Duxxy3]

Not really excited about the new consoles yet because I haven't seem them, the games or the price. I am excited for this generation to be over. I would have been fine with it ending in 2018.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Launch? Nah, I'mma wait out till the slim revisions

 

[shark97]

the next date i care about is february-ish. thats when xbox one/ps4 reliable specs started leaking last gen.

there's a point where things have to get firmed up...

btw i am always a day one new console guy,. and dont understand the mindset of any heavy gamer who isn't. i like the tech and business sides of gaming as much as actual gaming.

 

[Altair]

No, not really. Already have a high-end gaming PC, so I have no need for either of the new gen consoles until exclusives come along that I want and I don't see that happening at launch. Will probably get around to picking them up a year after launch.

Consoles tend to be expensive at launch & not every gamer has the cash to buy in day one.
