4 consoles and 2 handhelds and Sony hasn't disappointed me so far. I love their girst party games and know I can trust them to deliver.
I am still pissed at the original Xbox One "vision" and don't regard the MS first party releases as highly. The Series X and their new first party studio acquisitions look good though.

PS5 first and XsX later. Mainly because of how MS will have mostly crossgen the first two years which means that i don't need to upgrade immediately.
Both consoles are incredible to me and 1 or 2 years ago I would never have guessed that the next gen consoles would be such powerhouses.

PS5 for me. The games I want to play are on playstation. Japanese games are mainly on playstation. Unless Xbox scores a japanese game that I won't be playing anywhere else, even on PC, there just isn't anything interesting Xbox is offering for me. Honestly I can't bring myself to have any interest in most Xbox exclusive games. I only like Forza Horizon and Ori from Xbox this gen and I played those on PC.
PS5 at launch
I've been playing on a base ps4 on 1080p
So pS5 plus a 4ktv is gonna be a huge leap for me even if the launch games suck
I truly don't have time to play both Xbox and PlayStation, and I've been with playstation since the PSone, so I'll just stick with it
horizon first noon
Last of us Tokyo drift
Uncharted Drakes Survival
can't waitfor these
oh and Spider-Man 2 Doc Ocks revenge

PlayStation 5 at launch. Listening to yesterday's presentation and the responses from devs/jschreier's comments, I've never been more excited for a console launch.
XSX, never. Zero interest.

Strictly due to heritage and strength of SW then PS5. I'd like to have both at some point but it's hard to justify when you have a high end PC.
I sense the advancements in storage and the IO of the PS5 will make even PC people jealous for a bit. XB is clearly more powerful on paper but that has never been enough for me on any platform.

Considering a PC or Xbsx if the price is right. PS5 down the line when they release the Pro version.
I am leaning towards PS5...but probably will get XSX at some point to play XBOX 360/ONE games lol.
PS5 for me. Sony makes the games that I am the most interested in and I'll just buy any Microsoft game that I am somewhat interested in on PC.
Yeah, kind of surprising for an Era PlayStation vs Xbox poll. it's not going to be the same thing like PS4 over XB1 - I just don't see it happening. MS is being very careful and open with their plans. They are doing a very good job this time.
Bought a Wii, 360 and PS3 at launch
Bought a Wii U, Switch, Xbox One and PS4 at launch
Will buy both at launch, no regrets whatsoever.
You can have your opinion. No need for name-calling. I have the disposable and I'm an enthusiast. So I buy at launch and I trade up for the iterations.

Voted PS5 here.
It's the only place I'll be able to play GoW 2, Spider-Man 2, HZD 2, Gran Turismo, KojiPros project, Bluepoints project, Ghost of Tsushima, The last of Us remastered. Potential Uncharted sequels/Prequels.
The power difference for 3rd party games will be the equivalent to the difference in games for the PS4 Pro vs Xbox X. 1.8 Tflops difference Isn't the end of the world.

PS5. it's not really a decision I need to make. I have a decent PC so I can just use it for Xbox exclusives and even play with XBL friends too.
What's even more promising is the continued path towards cross-play and cross-buy in the third party space. I can play with freinds across three platforms with Modern Warfare right now, it's fantastic.

Series X will have better multiplat games, so I will get that at launch. The PS5 will come when the Sony has 4-5 exclusives ready
Ps5 looks like it's gonna be a jet engine disaster
I'll take 3!
but seriously Xbox then ps5 once it has a few exclusives.

First post nails it.
Hardware wise, i'm satisfied with what both have to offer. These are significant jumps from the current gen. It's a massive increase in performance in gpu, cpu, drive speed.
All that matters now is GAMES. Show me the games and i'll show you my monies.
Eh I would say it is a pretty accurate reflection of the preferences on here. Look how vibrant XSX threads are for instance and the Xbox OT
PlayStation at launch (as always) but I have to commend Xbox for doing a great job of creating a more powerful machine, having an amazing sub service in Game Pass and looking like they'll have a good amount of console exclusives next gen through the studios they've acquired. Definitely looking to get one down the line when I see what they put out on it. Amazing turnaround.
Both, I don't see any option that would fit my preferences.
Plus, I need them both to power up the Triforce with my Switch, lol.

Not buying anything until Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and China gets their shit straight and stop using slaves, but if I had to choose it would be the PS5.
PS5; specs don't matter to me, games do.
I'm still playing my 3DS and Switch a ton, and they're nowhere near comparable to Xbox One X or PS4.
They've got the games I want to play.

PS5. The power gap between the two boxes seems to be even smaller than the current PS4 Pro and Xbox One X power gap, so I have no reason to switch platforms. And even though PS5 BC won't be 100% at launch, that feature alone makes a PS5 mando.
In the end, it boils down to BC for me.
I'm not going to invest in another non-BC ecosystem yet again after PS4. I've spent so much money into it that I won't stay at Sony's side if they do as they always have: not take BC seriously since the PS3 days. Xbox's approach is so much more alluring, knowing that most games are compatible with my new box.
So, I guess, PS5 for now for me, but if full PS1, 2 and 3 BC is announced in the upcoming months, I'll be rolling with Series X from now on.

Eventually both. Launch date, of course SeX, because of Gamepass and my whole existing library. It's a no brainer.
Xbox series X. Prefer MS games. Better controller. More powerful console cpu and gpu. Better interface. Better services. Better cloud infrastructure. Backwards compatibility is sublime. And I have 3 years of gamepass I only bought for less than 60 bucks.
I never buy a console at launch, i prefer to wait 1-3 months to be sure that the hardware is solid and a game i need is released (will make an exception if a certaim From Software remake is released at launch).
Been an owner of playstatipn consoles since the ps1, so all my favorite developers and franchises are there, and Sony killed it in first party games during PS4, so i will not be leaving this ecosystem anytime soon, hopefully backward compatibilty improves and will end up great.
Ps5 for me.
