Would you pay $600 for next-gen at launch?

Yeah exactly, get rid of these old consoles for $300 or whatever and put that towards the next gen.
I don't see any reason to own them anymore.
Yep same. I want the best on launch day. Always have always will probably.
But Anyone thinking $399 is out of touch.
$499 at least, for the 10-12 TF machines
For $599, PS65 would need to have some solid BC incentive for me to dive in day one.
I'm still assuming $499 for PS5 without PS1/PS2/PS3 BC.

The price will rise after launch if Sonys supply is really limited, so I will take advantage of the day 1 MSRP sale for sure!

Still waiting on the launch info, but if there are games I want to play and given the tech inside these consoles, yeah I would. Won't complain if they're cheaper though.
$600 for a videogame console at launch is first world stuff, but I still would. It's something I'll be using for years and longer than my iPhone model.
there will probably be another stimulus check anyways.

I think there was a point awhile back that I would have, but knowing how slim the launch lineups are likely to be, and how relatively small the graphical leap thus far seems to be at launch, I would hold off if it's that high.
But I think they would be pretty crazy to price it that high.

Most people I know don't buy their phones outright. Phones are necessities for most people.

If the ps5 digital edition is that much at launch (highly doubtful), I'd still buy it. I'm about to sell my ps4 and still have some sony exclusives to go through, so it's worth it for that alone for me.
No way. $600 is like your rent money. We all saw how that went with the PS3.
And what's worse is that these consoles are coming out during this pandemic in which millions of people are out of work. Adding in a higher price tag is a hard sell, even at $500.

Yeah, It's not a financial reason. I mean, i 'm going to be paying more than that for the video card alone when i'm building the new PC.
On the console side i don't feel like it's worth it for me if it goes for more than 500$ because i can play all the new multiplatform games on PC. Id' rather wait for a PS5 sale or price drop and get back on the track with the exclusives later.
And the Pro is not going anywhere. I keep all my consoles, even when there's backwards compatibility.
All of them are hooked up and i play them regularly by rotation.
Might sound weird but i kinda get attached to my hardware and i couldn't let them go. I even have my old phones up to 15 years ago.
Hell no. Wouldn't pay more than $399 with an amazing launch lineup.
I'm not the buy a console at launch type though.

I wouldn't pay anything for next-gen at launch, since I'd prefer to wait until the games I want begin to pop up on the systems. So uh, nope.
Depends on the regional pricing. If that's like $1000 AU then I'm out considering the games I want to play (Bugsnax and Kena) are on PS4 as well.
I'd see what happens by the time Ratchet or Horizon release.

$599 is my maximum. I've budgeted in a PS5 purchase into my spending this year. I'm willing to plunk down a big chunk of change.
I hope it's $499-$549 at most.
