Poll When will you upgrade to next gen consoles? (89 votes)

Day 1 30%
Within a year 28%
Within 2 years 15%
2 years or more 12%
Never 15%

For me, I’ll most likely wait at least a year, as I’m currently perfectly happy with my XoX. So unless a killer new game or something comes out exclusive to next gen, I think I’ll save my money. What about you, SW? (Please explain your answer)

When GTA 6 comes out I don't have the patience to wait for the PC version anymore.

Who knows. I might not. But if I do, it would probably be 1-2 years after launch. Buying at launch is not for me

Nintendo, eventually, maybe.

Sony, probably never. I had a PS2, 3 and now 4, but their output, overall, just stinks now. Very few gems.

Microsoft, never. They shouldn't even be making consoles. Let someone who actually cares about making games take their place.

It depends on what the system has to offer so it may be Day 1 or may be 1 or 2 years, this gen PS4 was literally Day 1 purchase for me, it took me a year to get my X1 and I didn't purchase Switch until father's day and got it because it had a 50 US discount and it included a game ( haven't touched it yet, I just pulled it out of tne box to charge and into the box again ).

Really depends on the games. The past couple years have shown me that PC and Nintendo is all I need going forward.

Wrong answer!

You're supposed to say, "Scarlet Day fvcking 1 baby, feel the true powah of X!"

I'm telling Phil and then he'll send you a nasty email and block you on social media, then you'll be sorry.

ZOMG that cracked me up big time...

Well played my friend. :D

Probably in two years, or wait for the Mega/Uber/Pro version. Did the same with PS4.

When there are some next gen games (not cross gen) I really want to play combined with a promising outlook.

For me...never. Why in the world would I want to buy new hardware if most of the new releases are going to nickle and dime the customer? EA, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Paradox entertainment, Nintendo, and Polyphony have, among others, officially soured my perceptions of next gen gaming. GT sport's option to pay a real world dollar to buy a new car, outlandish prices for Paradoxes' addons, EA, do I even need to say, and the fact that Nintindo somehow scammed most of their fanbase into being excited for new OVERPRICED characters for their fighting game, no thanks!

Also, the dumbing down of Pokemon has gone too far for me. I can forgive, and heck, even enjoy the exp-share mechanic, but lack of wild battling in let's go Eevee, pikachu and not being able to catch em all in Shield/sword? Even though you could easily patch Eevee/Pikachu and pokemon go to allow transfers between them and Sheild/Sword?

I'll probably rebuild my gaming PC, but it's only going to contain a six core Intel processor (Yeah yeah, I know Ryzen is better but that chip-set has left a metaphorical bad taste in my mouth after two complete computer failures), 16 GB of ram and eventually an RX 580 graphics card. Oh, and a good, ATX motherboard. So I really wouldn't call it a next gen PC.

Depends. Let's say Ps5 is BC so I can play all ps4 games I own digitally day one. And you get some trade in deal or something. Then why wait? But I guess that won't happen. I also think I need to upgrade TV to 4k so it will be a pretty hefty investment by my standards. So at the end of the day i will probably wait a year or so lol.

Most likely will have upgrade to PS5 day one especially if it will be backwards compatible with PS4.

I expect the consoles to be extremely expensive. I don't have a 4k/8k tv so for me to get one of these consoles I will need to upgrade my tv. I am content with the Switch.

It depends. I usually do a wait and see approach. Likely 2 years into the gen, I decide to buy the new system (PS5).

For me it depends on what new consoles will bring to the table. If its more of the same with slightly better graphics I will wait to see what the inevitable mid-gen refresh looks like.

So far there's always been a mid gen refresh (i.e slim version or a pro version or a X version) the past few gens so I'll upgrade then.

I won't be "upgrading" since my PC hardware will destroy the new consoles, but I do kind of want to get the PS5(perhaps day 1) just to get any PS5 exclusives and be able to play all the PS4 exclusives on a better system(than the PS4 Pro) for dirt cheap.

So majority are saying 1 year to 2 years and yet they are still hyping the powah of teh next-gen consoles as they already own it. Funny, how they keep talking about the majority of PC gamers don't have 2080Ti in the same breath.
