XBSX and PS5 specs have been revealed Which console will you purchase at launch? Poll!

[OG_Thrills]

Now that we've arrived at a point where enough knowledge is out there about both machines to make an informed decision, which console are you picking up at launch or otherwise? Multi console purchase is obviously a valid response hence the poll choice.

[Begbie]

Its all about the games

 

[Dest]

waiting on the launch games
but if nothing interesting an xbox for sure

 

[digitalrelic]

Both at launch. PS5 is disappointing on many fronts but I don't really care, it's all about exclusives for me with Sony consoles.

 

[Smurf]

We don't know the price and the launch games yet..

 

[Dwebble]

Sorry, what games am I going to be able to use these specs on?

 

[banter]

At launch? PS5. Both in due time however.

 

[Mars People]

Where the neither option?

 

[CortexVortex]

Let's wait for the price and the games.

 

[Deleted member 31092]

I'm not buying a console at launch.

 

[Piccoro]

None for me (which should of been a poll choice).
I'm more than happy with my current PS Pro + Switch combo.

 

[nelsonroyale]

PS5. Ultimately I will be pleased enough with the specs. I reckon it will be priced $100 less than the XSX, and the main issue is that MS just don't excite me from a software perspective, although keen to see what their new studios offer. And having said that, impressed with the XSX hardware, if not the box design - though fuction over form obviously!

 

[Zalman]

One of them could have SNES specs and I would pick it if it had the better games.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I choose the option : Wait and see the games while admiring the console war from above.

 

[Deleted member 28523]

why would i buy a console

 

[GING-SAMA]

BOTH

but XSX is a beast not only by Hardware but software also with new features such as VRS, DirectStorage for optimal use of SSD etc ...

 

[Deleted member 864]

Probably PS5, but I need to see the prices and games of course.

 

[Akainu]

Neither only fools buy at launch.

 

[Civzy]

I'll 100% own both for sure. Which one I buy is 100% down to price (minus hypothetical Lockhart -- won't get that).

 

[JamRock7]

Plan on getting both sometime down the road but after that hour of misery I'm leaning towards more Xbox

 

[DominicanGlory]

Ps5 day one.

 

[K' Dash]

Game Pass
More powerful
Smart Delivery

 

[Arex]

It's all about the first party games so PS5 probably, but I won't get any of them at launch lol.

The only upcoming MS game I'm interested in is the Flight Sim, but that's on pc too :P

 

[Jacob4815]

No console at launch. Waiting for a PS5 PRO.

 

[KingParappa]

Where the neither option?

Click to shrink...

Exactly. No price point, no games shown. I currently at neither until further notice.

 

[Deleted member 13015]

PS5 solely because I like their studios/IPs more than Xbox's.

Nothing to do with power.

 

[Searsy82]

Both at launch.

 

[Wise]

I don't know..maybe neither

Not happy with the BC on the PS5 and it is weaker.

And I'm not an xbox fan...

Soo...guess we'll have to wait till we see games

 

[JamRock7]

Where the neither option?

Click to shrink...

Don't vote and don't partake?

[Ojli]

Where is my option of "Probably none of them"?

 

[Yuntu]

Probably both, maybe PS5 first.

Depends.

 

[TameLucas]

Xbox Series X first.

Maybe PS5 a few years later.

 

[Yerffej]

Xbox. Isn't even a choice. PS5 later.

 

[Thatguy]

I'm more invested in Playstation, but price and games will be king here. Specs feel very comparable to me.

 

[Atolm]

We have literally zero info about games and price.

Impossible to make an informed guess.

 

[GeometryHead]

Bought both of them last time, hardly ever used my Xbox One. So, PS5.

 

[Indelible]

I will buy a PS5 at launch and play any Xbox exclusives on PC, the same as this gen really.

 

[Sub Boss]

None until the games i want are out ✋

 

[The Pet of the Month]

Series X and Lockhart!

 

[Kyry]

At launch the PS5.
I might buy an Xbox later, but I'll be waiting for the software on that first.

 

[VaanXSnake]

I'll get both but Sony is more popular as a brand so Sony will win no matter what.

 

[MickZan]

PS5 as always. The specs didn't excite me much, aside from the 3D audio. The games will be where its at though.

 

[Deleted member 179]

PS5. Exclusives are on console, I can get Xbox's on PC most of the time

 

[benzopil]

This generation showed that Xbox is a better platform for me so I'm moving to Xbox. But I'll have to play Yakuza and Persona somehow so maybe both.

 

[BrickArts295]

First 5 then SX at a later date. I'm done choosing and I'll just get both but I have an X/PC to keep me in the loop with the exclusives/older tiles.

 

[Deleted member 42472]

Probably both because I am stupid

But Elden Ring + game pass + yakuza gamepass with an SSD means I am heavily leaning XSX first. Probably won't do PS5 until there are some very strong exclusives

 

[EVIL]

Historically there have been far more games that I find interesting from Sony first party studios. so PS5 for me.
Thinking what the Media Molecule guys could do with this system makes me very exited for this next generation.

 

[cyberninja]

Ps5 day one.
New Xbox only when my One X is no longer supported with new games.

 

[Rosebud]

None at launch because money. But eventually PS5.
