The next-gen consoles are officially getting released next week. How excited are you? I am very excited!

Super-excited to be joining the next-generation revolution (in 2.5 weeks, because that's when the PS5 launches in Europe).
I've got Miles Morales preordered, which weirdly is on track to arrive a full week before the console, but I'm probably most looking forward to playing backwards-compatible titles at higher framerates, since I'll be upgrading from the base PS4.
I'll join the Nextbox revolution sometime next year, when the exclusives are looking a bit healthier.

This is only the second console I've bought at launch (not including model revisions), and I'd say I'm at a 7.5/10 level of excitement? I was definitely more pumped for the Switch because of the novelty of it being a fairly impressive handheld for the time, on top of Breath of the Wild just looking to be amazing.
Tbh I'm mostly just relieved that I've avoided the shitfight it would be trying to get one for the next ~6 months. Even if all of the 2021 games end up getting delayed into 2022 or even turn out bad, I'm happy to have a PS5 now just to play my PS4 library with better performance. Plus I've started getting some 4K UHD Blu-Ray movies recently too, so I'm pretty keen for all of that.

not excited. we'll see how i feel about it post election.
spiderman should be fun, but other than that, there aren't any launch games im terribly excited about. due to the pandemic, i imagine the first year line up of games is going to be anemic. I'm assuming after spiderman, i wont be playing any ps5 games for a good while.

I'll be excited once Sony charges my card completely without a fraud alert warning. Once I actually have my ps5 paid off then I'll be happy and ready.
Other than that idk, I'm sure once it's in my hand I'll be super excited but for now it's just whatever.

I only recently started thinking about getting Valhalla because I unexpectedly loved Odyssey (best 9 bucks I ever invested on the EGS), but if it wasn't for that, this month could have been just as bad as any other month of 2020. I will probably wait for it to go on sale even. I was not even gonna play Cyberpunk but my girlfriend already has it so might as well.
Cross Gen is the main reason why I'm no excited.
My Pro can deal with Horizon and Spiderman.. Godfall is on PC so I'm only missing Demon Souls but I'm not into Dark Soul games so all good for me for this year and the next.

Thanks to Demons Souls, Miles Morales, the Dualsense, the SSD, and Destiny 2 on console in 60 FPS, I am very excited.
I've ordered mine but I suppose I ought to get on the accessories and any games I want physical copies of.
Excited isn't the right word for me. I'm looking forward to it, looking forward to unboxing my Series X and getting it all set up but in the short term I'm pretty much just gonna be playing the same games I'm currently playing on my One S. If anything, I might even buy Miles Morales on PS4 and play that instead of anything new on my Series X. It's a weird console transition, I can't imagine how anyone who has been around for a few of these could say it's as exciting as previous cycles.
I am very excited, but it's also dropping on my GF's birthday so I will be playing it for a few hours on Thursday and then not getting back to it until the weekend.
I still think I was slightly more excited for PS4 since it was the first big console I had purchased all on my own and I missed the whole week of school after it released due to whopping cough. I felt like absolute shit but it sure was fun not being able to leave my house with a shiny new PS4 sitting under my TV.

Would be more excited if the target app would update the shipping info. I wanna know when I'm getting it!
It's been a long year for everyone on the planet. The next gen console releases are a nice thing to celebrate together (please, no more tribalism -- we have enough of that in "real life"). I think both Sony and Microsoft are bringing some really special machines to the table, and that has me most excited of all.
And, as someone who's mostly been playing on Playstation (and before that, Nintendo and Sega), the X-Box Series X is the most excited I've been for a Microsoft console. I plan on getting one a little later in the new gen cycle.
I think there's just a ton of great stuff to be stoked about, and given how dismal this year has been, I'd say being hyped for a new console release is a little bit like chicken soup -- good for the soul.

I've stopped playing my PS4 since we're so close so I'm very excited.
We also get a lot of games next week, so a lot to look forward too.

I actually forgot about them last week. I might take a look in a couple years when there are more "from the ground up titles" in the wild but otherwise I don't care.
Not really excited. I play mainly on PC. Therefore, I will be able to play what the Xbox crowd will get. I don't really care for the typical Sony game that much. Sure, I would love to play the Demon's Souls remake but that is not enough reason to buy a PS5 at launch. Maybe later when the first hardware revision has arrived and many games are available well below that excessive "next-gen" rate.
Full on train hype, unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to get one at launch. I don't even have the will to turn my PS4 on that much anymore
I will most likely get a PS5 somewhere down the line, but right now there are no games I'm interested in. Also, part of me knows it's probably wiser to wait for a slim/pro version.
In general it feels like the law of diminishing returns is also kicking in for the hardware so the "next gen sensation" is pretty muted tbh. Well, higher frame rate and quick load times is nice, but the rest feels more like window dressing to me.

As someone who started gaming when I got my NES for Christmas in 1986, I have never been less excited about a new generation of consoles.
Not getting either at launch so not excited at all really. Excited for what comes to PC Gamepass during launch window plus Valhalla though.
I'm not excited because I am rocking a 32 inch 1080 TV from like PS3 times, so I doubt I'll be able to tell any difference besides faster load times.
Maybe next year there will be TVs that have hdmi 2.1 that aren't broken and/or over $1k.

I would say minor excitement to upgrade right now, pretty weak launch lineup, really nothing taking advantage of the system. Also the fact that it's going to be damn near impossible to get a PlayStation five also makes me not that excited to get one right now
I am looking forward to next gen, but not excited. Some disappointments (i.e would have loved PS3 backwards compatibility, as I have tons of games would like to play on a better controller, faster machine, but now I'll have to go back to PS3)... game prices have made me a bit meh... and of course what with covid etc... just not feeling it.
my series x arrives next week, but i've been around this day one block so many times it loses its appeal
i'm at work all day, and if i have to pick it up from the depot the next day because i've missed delivery, so what...

I'm a little excited, but the US election results and the coronavirus response are things that are top of mind right now. I do still appreciate the break entertainment can provide from some of the anxiety-inducing stuff going on in the world right now.
My extra PS5 controller was just delivered a little while ago, but it's kind of surreal that launch is next week.

This thread is what reminded me they are lauching soon, so I'm pretty indiferent towards this new hardware yet.
I'm excited, but I would have been even more excited, almost over the moon, if Sony had a more robust VR plan going forward since Day 1.
