Which console would you buy day one ?

[Lamptramp]

Definitely PS5 day one, I'm a touch cold on the Series X, however my One X recently died in an underwhelming black screen of nothing, and 2 years (or so) left on Gamepass would make me toy with the idea of grabbing one as a replacement depending on price.
Already have money set aside for PS5 and could probably spare the same again, though it's a much smarter option to update my GPU instead.

 

[Foxnull]

None. Never bought a console during launch and probably never will. I'll wait for some good games first.

 

[Rbk_3]

I think I am not going to get one for a while. I think I will get the 3080ti instead and upgrade my PC

 

[Tusken77]

PS5 Day 1, there or thereabouts. Anything Xbox-related, Day Never.

 

[Meowland]

PS5 if we can play PS4 exclusives at 60fps.

 

[Deleted member 12352]

Whichever has interesting games I can't play elsewhere.

 

[Eppcetera]

I never buy consoles at launch, so neither.

 

[WesleyShark]

Series X day one. ps5 i'll probably wait for a Pro version.

 

[BC-2]

Looking like PS5 digital for me but that depends on price of course. Assuming they're the same I'd get the one with the drive, no reason not to.

 

[Pygrus]

PS5, I have a gaming PC.

 

[Wandu]

PS5 DE for me. Since I am about 95% digital with PS4, I might as well just go Digital Edition. I also stream movies & TV content, so I dont remember the last time I used a bluray player. I also have my PS3 and/or PS4 Pro to consume that type of content if needed.

 

[Cosmic Voyager]

68% getting a PS5, that's pretty wild

 

[Rowsdower]

Chilling with that 7.4% who are getting both, hell yea.

 

[N7_Kovalski]

PS5 (or I guess PS5 digital if I'm not quick enough for the other one) Day 1.

 

[Sparks]

I feel like I keep up to date with things, then I miss an Xbox Series S? What is that..

 

[Deleted member 46948]

My current plan is to get both PS5 physical and XSX on launch, but we'll see depending on price, features and launch lineup. There's still a lot of unknowns.

 

[ilmikhail]

xbox series x and switch 2

 

[Deleted member 864]

PS5, I'll probably pick up a Series X further down the line.

 

[meenseen84]

Not sure how relevant any of this is yet. We don't know prices and haven't seen the Series S. I am a little surprised by PS5 vs PS5 digital.

 

[Deleted member 49611]

XSX day 1. PS5 digital 2-3 years down the line.

 

[ManNR]

Dang. People are sleeping on the Series S.
If the rumors are true this will be THE ideal next-gen system for people who haven't jumped on board the 4k train.
Not to mention the impact of a looming Pandemic Depression...

 

[gameguy682]

It still depends for me. I'm already planning on a new GPU this year, so it depends on that. Then I want to know the next 6 months before I commit to buying one.

I'm currently planning on getting both (I'm assuming I'd get PS4 Pro/Xbox One X type upgrades with BC), but there are so many factors for me that I could end up not picking any up this year.

Out of both SKUs (for each console), I would pick the disc based one 100% of the time. The only way I would pick up a digital one is if Sony/Microsoft sold an external disc drive separately.

 

[Tailzo]

I want a new xbox, my first since the 360. Hoping series s will be the one. Also want a ps5.

 

[Sia]

I will be buying the ps5 likely to only play cyberpunk in for a while

 

[dep9000]

What physical games?

Click to shrink...

And this is why I'm telling people there's no way Sony charges $100 less for the digital version. People are already buying mostly digital now! You'll get a $50 savings and that's it!

 

[Kyoufu]

I'll get whichever PS5 model I can get my hands on at launch. Series X will be a later purchase, probably when mid-gen refreshes are out.

 

[Simuly]

The only one I'm even considering is the Series S, and that's down to pricing and whether or not it has a disc drive.

No disc drive, no sale.

Over $300? Also no sale.

Click to shrink...

It'll be a no sale then :p

I'm totally fine with that. I'm getting the digital version because I've been buying 95% digital for the past few years. I can easily make that 100%. "Saving" $50 upfront is of none importance, really.

 

[Vonocourt]

If I can manage it, PS5 with drive at launch.

Gonna keep my Xbox One X for a bit, probably till Microsoft's ramp into next-gen becomes a step.

 

[maximumzero]

It'll be a no sale then :p

Click to shrink...

Bummer. Hopefully the Xbox One S drops to $200 then.

 

[C J P]

Really want both - got an itch that only Halo's gonna scratch - but absent an amazing unannounced launch game I'll probably end up going for PS5 because I don't want to lose my digital library and they seem to have more to offer at this juncture. The timed exclusive stuff is shitty and anti-consumer and all that, and it's also another very good reason to get their console instead of Microsoft's. I will almost definitely get an XSX at some point mid-gen, likely in time for Avowed or whatever inXile are releasing.

 

[Klaphat]

It depends on the price of the consoles and if there are any good trade-ins. I will probably trade in my PS4 for a PS5 and my Xbox One X for a Xbox Series X...

 

[civet]

I'll probably wait a year or two to see where the games that interest me the most come out. I'll probably go for a PS5 at some point as most of the big titles will come out on both but Sony naturally tends to attract more japanese developpers.

If both consoles were getting the exact same librairies I'd go for a XSX just because it looks a lot nicer to my eyes, plus the extra power surely is appeapling too if it means more stable graphics in game.

 

[Dogo Mojo]

PS5 it's were the bulk majority of my library is so it makes more sense for me to go that way first. I'll probably wait to see how MS builds their first party before I invest in the Series X

 

[Mekanos]

I haven't bought a console at launch in 16 years.

 

[TechMetalRules]

I usually always get new consoles day one, but I think I'll be good with my Xbox One X for a while. Just the PS5 for now.

 

[Sheng Long]

PS5 Lump.

SX needs to show me something I really want, and they haven't yet.

 

[John Frost]

PS5 day one, Series X maybe a few years down the line if I don't build a PC until then.

 

[Deleted member 5745]

Series X at launch. PS5 sometime next year.

 

[Cassius Bright]

PS5 day one.

I'm unconvinced by the Series X, having bought a One X and barely ever played it.

 

[Moose]

Xbox and PlayStation are old news. It's all about the Intellivision Amico.

 

[Khrno]

None day 1.

It all depends when there are enough PS5 exclusives that interest me, around 6 to 12 months later is my guess.

For reference I'm getting a 3080 Ti or 3090 card this year day 1, and I will not get an Xbox.

 

[Sulik2]

At this point neither. It's pretty obvious covid torpedoed launch game development for both companies. Nothing really next gen is going to hit for a year post launch. I'll play Halo on my One X for free with gamepass and wait a year. Probably go Series X first unless Sony drops Bloodborne 2 fall 2021.

 

[TortadeJamon]

If Sony made another PSP/Vita, only with microSD cards as storage, I'd buy that. As for the two consoles slated to come out, no thanks... maybe when they put out some hardware revisions.

 

[Decarb]

Depends on the price difference between disk and digital PS5. If it is $50 then they can shelve it, I'm not giving up options for $50.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

PS5 with the disc drive is day 1. I would also get an SX day 1 if Avowed or Fable were coming out then, but they aren't so I'm not lol.

 

[stat84]

If all goes well then a PS5 when Demon's Souls releases

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Not necessarily looking to get anything on day one, but if Series S comes in at a super tempting price, that could replace my current Xbox.
