PS4 owners are you planning on sticking with Sony for the next gen PS5?

I'm sticking with Sony or should i say my PS4 for now as I've only just got back into gaming after a long hiatus.

Games are a lot more expensive now and PS5 prices may rise still..!!.

I always buy every major system. So probably yes.

Yes, based on history and how well set Sony are for next gen, I'm sure I'll get a PS5.

Oh I though you were one of those loonies who has only ever owned consoles from one brand maker.

No, I've had it with Bore Stations. Going full on Xbox, next gen. It's really a no brainer. lol :P

Yeah imagine only buying Xbox consoles, that must suck. lol

im not sure yet, since i just bought a gaming PC couple months ago.. but the whole needing to launch 4-6 different game clients just to play certain games on PC is really turning me off - i've been gaming on consoles for so long so im not used to that.

So yeah, i'll see..

Bc with PS4 (both, physical and digital), would make PS5 a no brainer to me. If not, then depends of the offers.

this is also my answer. But I think Sony will continue having a strong first party next gen so most likely yes.

Right now they seem the most stable, so if I had to pick one, I'd still go with Sony for next gen. I don't trust MS now. Perhaps they turn it around for next gen, but they have a lot of work to do to regain trust. At their worst moments this gen, I almost get the feeling they don't even want to stay in the console race anymore.

Nintendo will be supporting the Switch for a while. What they need to do, though, is prove they can run a good online service, and they still need to work on getting more third party games that aren't just FIFA and Doom. Like, for once, it'd be nice to see a full Far Cry, Assassin's Creed or GTA game on there run well, without excessive limitations.

Ill be sticking with all the platforms, just like I did this generation. I just love it when all the manufactures release new hardware.

PC is my main platform, so having a console is always secondary.

After that I'll get whatever I need to play the games I want, like always.

PC first and foremost, but Sony will depend. If they release quality exclusives like on the PS4, then i'll no doubt buy a PS5. Fortunately, due to only buying exclusives, it means I can hold off a year or two and wait for a bigger library.

Ill buy which ever console has good exclusives, zero brand loyalty, sidebitches anyway

@vfighter: For me, it's a brilliant game. Even if Square ported the Steam version over to PS5, just like FF7, I will be equally happy.

I have no doubt that Sonys by the gamers, for the gamers mantra will continue into next gen.

Next gen Sony will once again deliver the most powerful console of all time; filled to the rafters with limousine riding, genre defining, world colliding, entertainment providing AAA exclusive games.

Looks like another gen of SONY DOMINATION CONTINUATION.

Didn't vote because ill probably get every system like I always do unless MS bombs harder than they already have this gen.

Maybe he's like me and has friends that only play Xbox. Should he abandon the chance to play with them?

PlayStation 4 Life.

PlayStation has won 4 gens in a row when it comes to games.

PS5 will make it 5. Sony has been King since day one and you all know it.

I get all the consoles each gen myself and I really don’t see that changing yet.

I mean, they'd have to royally screwup. The PS3 at $699 or whatever it was caused me to get a Wii first in that gen, and not get a ps3 until late 2009.

If they just do the same thing as PS4, and make it the best bang for the buck machine at ~$399 then I'm in. That's how they won this gen. No gimmicks, just made a sensibly powerful $399 machine. If they make it backwards compatible with games at PS4 pro settings, then it's pretty much a no brainer to stick with them for the upgrade. Of course they will need some PS5 exclusives to really force people to upgrade. Backwards compatibility can go both ways if there aren't any actual exclusives within the launch window.

I think the only thing MS could do to beat them is really sell their console at a loss. The PS4 was probably equivalent to about a $500 or $600 worth of PC (to build an equivalent machine) on the day it launched. I'd expect PS5 to be about the same. To win, MS would have to provide an even better value. This gen, MS made a weaker machine and priced it $100 more at launch, which is why they were dominated from the start and never recovered.

I am a firm believer in shaking the Magic 8 Ball at the start of every generation. In fact, this was the first generation where I knew for a fact I would NOT be supporting one of the big three out of the gate. However, MS has made a lot of the right moves and deserves some consideration with whatever is going on with Scarlet. As for PS5, it's a very likely yes, but they could always make decisions that turn me the other way. Switch is a little weird right now, simply because that talk about Nintendo making another handheld would go against every reason I bought the thing.

TLDR: Way too much that can go right, and go wrong, to decide for an absolute fact I am on board. It's wait and see. It's always wait and see.

You can still play with your Xbox friends and have access to your friends list from PC.

@quadknight: I'm aware but that doesn't mean I can play with them on games like GTA, battlefield, rainbow six siege (Games that don't offer cross play, you know, the feature that ps4 only players "don't care" about)

Oh well, convince your bummy friends to get a PC. Never compromise your gaming for the sake of friends.

@quadknight: ......... i dont even know what to say to that except for that I wouldn't wanna be your friend if that's how you treat them. Unlike me my friends don't have an extra $1000 for a gaming pc only to play the same games their $150-$200 Xbox can.

Why wouldn't you want to play with friends. I thought that was a big point for a lot of people with multiplayer titles.

I get whatever system I wanna play and I don't let friends dictate for me what system to get. Friends can play on their own system if they don't want to join me. I'm not saying you should force them, just try and convince them. I don't believe in people compromising their gaming experience for the sake of friends.

@quadknight: I see. It seems we value friendships differently. From my perspective you'd rather stick it to MS by not buying an Xbox over playing with your friends. (that's if you had any on Xbox)

The likelihood is strong. Sony already has a couple of system sellers lined up for me.

• Horizon Zero Dawn 2
• God of War 2

The only way Sony is gonna get more money from me is to release another Fromsoftware exclusive

Sure!!!

And a pc and it's all i need.

Time is the main factor, not the platforms, so i stick with the ones I favour most.

Playstation and PC for me. Xbox will offer nothing worth buying their consoles for.

That's because quack doesn't have any friends lol.

Nah, I'd rather buy a system with more games that fit my needs. I don't give a shit about "sticking it to MS". They don't have any games I want that's why I don't buy their system. Friends aren't going to convince me to spend $400-500 on a shitty console with no games. If they are good friends they'll understand. If your friends are going to stop being your friends because you don't own the same console as them, they were never good friends to begin with.

? I see you're still mad I completely rekt you in this thread.

I stick with them all. I will get the next Sony, Nintendo, and MS box. I always do.

Notice how the rest of the world has moved on past racers for the most part? If it weren't for racers, MS wouldn't even have any games approaching 90 Metas.

Hahahahaha brand loyalty? Hahahaah it's video games man. There should be no such thing as brand loyalty for the consumer hahaha freaking brand loyalty

@i_p_daily: Here's a list of current systems I own and have hooked up and ready to play...

Atari 7800 (can also play all 2600 games)

NES

Sega Master System

Snes

Sega Genesis

32x, Sega CD

PS1

N64

Saturn

Dreamcast

PS2

Xbox

Gamecube (with game boy player)

PS3

360

Wii

PS4

Switch

Handhelds, Gameboy, Gameboy pocket, Game boy micro, 3ds. Had a gamegear but sold it, and regret it to this day. I'm a gamer and while I preferring for current systems I love games regardless of what they're played on.

The dude can’t relate. He only owns an Xbone and a pathetic number of games, mostly racing. He posted his collection in this thread where I owned him and I almost died laughing. You’d think with the noise he makes on SW he would own more games and systems than that.

For sure. They are consistent and offer great value.

Say so the most butthurt lemming after dynamitecop that this site has ever seen.

I buy every console I can so this doesn't apply to me.

The only thing I can tell you is I would never buy a Microsoft product or an Apple product, Sony was on my shit list for a while but they have pulled back from their mistakes a little.

Depending on exclusives I will go with PS5 or just stick to PC.

@kingtito: Dude that was a joke. Tryit got triggered in a thread then proceeded to make a whole other thread about his argument from that thread and he spelled loyalty as loyality lmao

Sony has managed to have the most powerful console for half of one generation. The ps1 was weaker than the n64. The p2 was weaker than the gamecube and xbox. The ps3 was pretty much identical to the 360 when devs spent time catering to the ps3 architecture. The ps4 was most powerful only until the x1x came out.

This is all proof that the most powerful console doesn't win the generation. The NES won over the Master System. The SNES won over the Genesis. The PS1 won over the N64. The PS2 won over the GameCube and Xbox. The Wii won over the HD twins. The PS4 won over the Xbox One X. Even in handhelds. The GameBoy beat the Game Gear, the GameBoy Advance beat.... ... Who was their competition again? The DS beat the PSP and the 3DS beat the PS Vita. The most powerful console lost every generation, yet gamers still insist that power matters. SMH. When will these fools realize that GAMES matter?

Butthurt from what el tormented? Unlike you, I actually own current gen consoles and more than 1. Unlike you, I have options to play any game I like and not limited to watching youtube or reading reviews to form my opinions. Judging by your post, you're the most pathetic poster here and I'd rather be butthurt than pathetic.

My mistake, my bad dude.
