Size is a factor for me. Actual look? couldn't care less.

I'll be getting the PS5 as soon as I can.
Hopefully I will be able to get the XSEX eventually. I've never owned an Xbox before but their push to making their first party games better is making me interested.

It was always Xbox for me because of Halo. I was probably going to eventually get a ps5 too if it ran multiplatform games better, but now I see no reason to as none of their exclusives interest me either.
None at the moment.
Every Microsoft game will be on pc so no reason to get an Xbox ever again.
Playstation 5 looks super underwhelming right now, and the buthchered BC support makes it hard to invest in its ecosystem.

The PS5 is an easy choice for me, like the PS4 was this generation.
I like PC the best and I also like Sony/PS exclusives. I play multiplatform/Microsoft games on PC and the PS5 will be for the unique content on that system, which I'm sure will be amazing. The massive bump in power over the PS4 will result in some of the best looking games on the market from Sony's first party. Even though PC is my preferred platform, some of my favorite games were exclusive to the PS4. I don't see anything changing for me in terms of platforms.
I'm curently on a fairly old PC, but the next one I buy will eat XBX for breakfast.
The more things change, the more they stay the same :)

Currently leaning towards the Xbox as the Xbox Gamepass is absolutely killer and the way Microsoft handles backwards compatibility is very interesting. I often still think about getting an X when I see the way certain old games get enhanced. Also, the probable advantage they have in power is nice.
Though I still haven't seen enough obviously. But if Microsoft keeps it up with Gamepass it would be a hard sell to stick with Sony.

MS doesn't do full BC either btw. Sony were always going to play catch up in this area.
Series X day 1. PS5 Day 1 if there is a sony first party game I am into...if not...the day one comes out.
Both systems seem pretty awesome and only fanboys and console warriors are trying to say one is better than the other. I am interested in the form factor and cooling solution in ps5...hope it is as solid as series x.

what are you talking about? PS5's BC for PS4 games will be nigh on 100%. it's the boosted mode that won't be. the same way the PRO's boost mode for PS4 games isn't.
unless you're talking about PS1/2/3 not being supported (that we know of) in which case i guess that's reasonable.
Still the PS5, because of the exclusives.
I already have a gaming PC so I'll play the MS games on that.

We probably won't be able to buy any of them, my br friend.
Probably both although it will depend on a couple of factors. #1 being the state of the world given Covid-19.
We don't know that at all. Only 100 (actually less) games have been confirmed to work as of now. There is no confirmation of a separate Boost Mode. You should check the thread on PS5 again, Cerny's wording definitely does not suggest what you are saying.
All Xbox One and One X games will play on XSX from Day 1 tho.
Many of them further upgraded and with Auto HDR.
On top of this there are the curated lists of X360 and OG Xbox BC games, which will also gain enhancements and Auto HDR.
An hugely different BC support compared to PS5.
Another big important thing many are not even talking about is the full Xbox One Accessories and Pheripherals support also on XSX from Day 1.
I voted PS5 down the line but I said that about PS4 and still got one Day One. I'm going to try and wait down the line but I've been Day One for PS2, PS3 and PS4. It makes little sense as the really awesome games come later but that shiny new thing you know. I vote Playstation as I've been playing games on them since the PS1 and have enjoyed myself thoroughly and always, so far, can depend on Sony and Other Devs/Pubs to put out great games on them. It's always about the games for me as tech talk goes over my head. Going on past enjoyment of games on a platform from the past - I'm PS5. Will likely get an XS later if their endeavours pay off from the studios they bought.
I mean, at this point I'd only be purchasing a PS5 for exclusives and it's looking like PS games are trickling (we'll see if the trend continues) out to PC (my main platform.
It also depends on price. I've got 2 PS4's, if I could trade them in and pay under $200 I might very well do it sooner rather than later.
Should be a Poll answer - IDK yet, I need to see it in action/all details to come out.

PS5. Going to buy it Day1.
I am a little bit more impressed by the hardware the Series X went with, but my gut feeling tells me that thanks to the hard work of extremely talented developers the PS5 exclusive games will still have the edge in terms of visual fidelity. There is a good chance that Third Party games down the line will look slightly better on the Series X especially when they add RayTracing, but by that time I will probably have upgraded to a Navi 3 graphics card given how impressive RDNA2 already seems to be.
Still the consoles are incredibly close. Much closer than PS4 <-> Xbox One and PS4 Pro <-> Xbox One X and to be fair as a person who usually owns a pretty decent gaming PC it is hard to make a case to not go with the PS5.
I was never one to focus on the actual hardware too much, though very important indeed to have a machine that is decently capable, other factors are more my focus point and it looks like both machines will be significantly better than what anyone could've hoped for given the surprise progress AMD made with their latest technologies so I expect next gen to start at a much higher baseline compared to where we were in 2013.
Also I have a library of digital and physical PS4 games and would love to carry them over.

Xbox. I'm all about those ps5 exclusives, but I'd be willing to take a risk on ms, as they're doing everything right at this point, and the hardware is there.
I have a PC so only will get a console when there are games on them that I can't play on PC. Won't be buying any of them day 1. If I didn't have a PC then I'd go with the XSX easily. Since I do have a PC there will be little reason for me to get an Xbox so I'll probably get a PS5 at some point down the line.
The only exclusive Playstation games I can see myself buying would be:
Bloodborne 2 (if it happens) and/or any other Playstation exclusive by From Software.
Persona 6 - which is a long long time away.
The Last of Us Part 3 - if it happens and most likely that'll be towards the end of the generation again.
The rest I'm not interested in: Gran Turismo, God of War, Horizon, Uncharted etc. I'm done with them. Of course there will be new IPs but it'll take a lot to convince me of them.

I won't surprise anyone by saying PS5, but I'll say 'tentatively' day one. It depends how the year shakes out. I didn't get a PS4 day one, so that absolute need to have something immediately isn't as strong as it once was for me... unless something very compelling comes along.
But, PS5, sooner rather than later I imagine. For the games I know they'll have coming, for PSVR(2). The box itself seems to have some nice 'space' for the first parties to explore beyond the cpu/gpu increases, which could be an exciting avenue for differentiation for them in a way that wasn't quite so strong on PS4. I'm interested in the controller tech also, moreover the evolution toward the PSVR2 controller.

i think it suggests exactly what i'm saying.
"Running PS4 and PS4 Pro titles at boosted frequencies as also added complexity. The boost is truly massive this time around and some game code just can't handle it. Testing has to be done on a title by title basis. Results are excellent, though. We recently took a look at the top 100 Playstation 4 titles as ranked by playtime and we're expecting almost all of them to playable at launch on Playstation 5."
the PS5 will effectively neuter itself to play PS4 games flawlessly, the same way the PRO does.
if you try to boost them it can cause issues with some titles...again, the same way the PRO can.
PS5 day one. Top of the line exclusives and VR. No matter how annoyed I am with Sony and their piss-poor management as of late, their approach to the industry I understand is the best for most players. Services, GaaS , streaming and stuff like that is a no-go for me. Not with my money.
Series X down the line (likely first good sale or bundle). On paper it seems the better system but we still have to wait to see what real world performance is like. Still it has Gamepass which is the best thing in gaming and that's my system seller
Actually, if it exists, my path will likely be Lockhart close to launch with a PS5 Pro (assuming there are enough exclusives that are interesting to me) later while still using Lockhart as an XCloud machine.

For me it's always been about exclusive games in my area of taste, not console power.
I'm willing to give Xbox a fair hearing, but right now my belief is that Sony will be more likely to satisfy that criteria (as they were in this current generation).

PS5 Pro
I've decided to buy non-Nintendo consoles on a mid-generation cycle. Get slightly better hardware and start with a backlog of games.

PS5 day one. Easy call. And if my preferences the past three generations are anything to go by, Xbox Series X never. I don't even have time to play all the PS games I want, there's no reason for me to drop dollars on another console especially considering the historical difference in Japanese content.
Other than an Atari, I've never owned a single non-Japanese gaming machine.

Xbox, both because they've made better choices with the hardware and because the strides they've taken this gen for their ecosystem. Sony has its exclusives but they don't do much for me anymore. I'm not hyped for their biggest games, and that's not really a good place to be.
