It would disappoint me but I can understand why they would and I think there is a chance it will happen.

Would you be okay if PS5 or XSX came out in early 2021
- Thread starter asmith906
- Start date
I know that feeling. I upgraded to the Pro for that very reason and you know what? Same shit! Barely a year after the purchase, that fucking thing turned into a jet engine simulator and I'm still not sure what makes it go crazy. Like, I can play RDR2 and it's fine, but then I start The Division 2 and Sony's marvel of engineering gets ready for take-off! It gets so loud, my dog starts barking at it! No way I'm buying day 1, I'd rather throw 500€ cash straight in the gutter. It will take at least a year to determine how the new gen deals with this issue and the next console I'm gonna buy is the one with the best cooling solution.
I'd probably consider making an incredibly huge and awkward scene in front of my family and friends. Just to make sure they know how psychotic I am.
Would I be ok? Of course. Next gen will be the first one I am not getting the new consoles at release since the Sega Saturn.
Specs are already locked in. At this point the only thing that can be tweaked are memory and storage sizes. The later they release the weaker they will be in relation to everything else. If released tomorrow the new consoles would already struggle compared to late 2018 PC performance. Mid 2021? Who knows how badly they will compare to low-end/mobile Ampere. CPU-wise they will probably be fine for a few years but I'll be waiting for the refresh when they upgrade the weak RT GPUs in 2022/23.

I am fine if its delayed, however, it makes no sense for it to be.
The consoles will be sold out at launch either way, even if they had the opportunity to produce a lot of consoles, and I think it'll be hard for either of them to not launch during the holiday season alongside the big holiday games.
Coronavirus might decrease the amount of consoles produced on launch, but most esimates say that it should start to die down by april, so they should be able to manufacture consoles for the launch date.
In fact, waiting for early 2021 just risks waiting too much and reaching a state where corona resurfaces again and halts their production pipeline again.

Honestly yes, since there's still a lot to play on my PS4 and I don't feel like I need the upgrade. Even though I want to.
I would be understanding and "ok with it" so long as this information is communicated soon. But if I'm left under the impression that the consoles are launching this year for much longer only to have the rug pulled out from under me, it will sting a bit.
Yeah, I'm hyped to the max, but if delaying launches allows them to do it properly with a decent amount of consoles at the right price with all the planned features and specs, then sure, be my guest.
That's what I'm saying:
- Watch Dogs, Cyberpunk, Tales - all possibly pushed to 2021 if the consoles follow suit
- Biomutant, Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo - barely any concrete info other than we know they exist, to the point where the Biomutant devs had to come out this week and assure everyone it's still a game - at least 1 or 2 of these will be 2021
- TLoU 2, FF7R, RE3 - like I said, spring has some stuff, but keep in mind all of these have ALREADY been delayed once if not multiple times
The year is still early but right now it's looking pretty sparse if we take new console cycles out of the equation.
Normally I'd agree with you, but since both next gen consoles are going to be 100% compatible with the current gen, I can't wait to trade my PS4 fighter jet for something that plays the same games better and hopefully quieter.
i wouldn´t care at all tbh, better to release a bit later if the costs will be jumping too high when releasing this year.
maybe wait for the PS6, it will be better than the PS5Pro

Never said anything about success, I just found it a waste of time at launch.
For me, the game I wanted to play the most didn't launch until like 6 months after launch so my PS4 mostly just sat there outside playing Resogun and other PS+ games. I would have no trouble waiting if they chose to delay launch.
Nintendo has shown it doesn't really matter as much as we thought when they release as long as you deliver.
No. Then all of those crossgen/launch games would get delayed too, and we'd have a giant gaping hole of fuckall for several months.
the consoles MUST be released
the consoles MUST be released
That's what I think.
I don't think you see a delay from either side, unless both agree. So long as we don't have a 2nd wind of cases I think by the time they start to produce these in big numbers the regions away from the epicentre will be starting to return to normality - and if there's one country that can make up for lost time, it is China.
But if no delay and you just have limited supply as you say I think those affected the most will likely be devs/publishers of next-gen-only titles, and I would expect to see some of those pushed back.
I wouldn't mind it, I feel like the Switch proved you don't have to launch a console in the fall.
And I think a six month head start is negligible.

Wouldn't really care to be honest. I mainly play on PC, so the only thing that would affect me is I'd have to wait longer for 3rd party devs to transition fully to next gen to get the full next gen game experience, which usually takes 3-4 years anyway when it comes to 3rd party.
They could cancel PS5/X1 all together and I'd still probably have enough games in my backlog to last me the rest of my life at this point of my career/family. It can wait as long for as long as it needs.
Whenever the next gen arrives I will be there... this Q4 or next year's Q2, I really don't care or mind.
Yeah sure. I expect delays when dealing with anything video game related so why not have the thing that runs the video games be delayed? It's like poetry, it rhymes. Give them more time to polish launch games at least but then they'd get delayed too. I'm in a negative frame of mind today I see.
Launch them whenever you want, won't be able to afford them comfortably at year 1 anyway.
Hmm..so maybe launch them asap so they can go to sale asap.

I have so many games to play and things like GP are adding even more.
I'm good really to wait. I have a X already so I'm in a pretty good position to begin with.
