Just curious, but if after two generations you haven't played PS3 enough to finish the games you like, is there really much point keeping it out? I have every gaming machine I've owned since the Commadore 64 stored away (because they are a bit of a collection at this point and I didn't see the point in selling them for such a small amount compared to their value to me at the time) but I don't need to have them out and immediately available. In terms of the PS3, I put it away a few months ago despite only getting it a few months before the PS4 release (I had a 360 most of last gen). There were just no more games I needed to play.

KenjiCBZ Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I am gonna wait until 2021-2022: the price and my PS3/Ps4 backlog will decrease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igs63 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Day one for me, can’t wait. Knowing it’s backwards compatible with at least PS4 is enough for me, as I’m really hoping it won’t be as loud as my jet engine of a PS4 (and it’s a pro too). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AJ_Radio Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2020 My answer is NO. I have waited for every Sony console release to have good games since the PS2 era. I usually wait at least two years for a new console after it's official release date. Reasons being: 1. More games available 2. Update changes to the XMB, usually for the better 3. Performance changes to make the console run more efficiently 4. Better selections If you guys want to buy the PlayStation 5 on Day One, be my guest. But I've always waited until there is at least a few AAA games worth getting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky_RykerXD Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Few years for me as well. It takes a while for the devs to push the system to the limits. Look at the games from the last two years with PS4 compared to launch. PS5 games will only look slightly better than PS4 games (closer to the PS4 Pro). Sure there will be a bunch of exclusive comebacks, like with every PS launch, but they aren't going anywhere. More likely to grab a PS5 5lim.

MrGarland Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 2021 or 2022 at earliest. I still have enough games for PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caju_94 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Depends on the backwards compatibility. Still, guess I will wait for some feedback first and wait for the prices to lower down whether game-wise/console-wise. Plus, I still have lots of PS4 on my backlog and considering to buy a PS3 if the PS5 doesn't bring full backwards compability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverHypedG Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Day one for me for sure, hoping they have some awesome launch titles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybaz85 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Having a huge backlog with title such as Gta 5, Spiderman, Red Dead 2, Days Gone, Death Stranding, South Park ( Both games), Uncharted Lost Legacy, Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, Severed, Guacamelee 2 AND having a new born baby ( 6 week old), i will most definitely wait either till Mid to late 2021 OR 2022 if a PS5 Pro version is announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arin1979 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 It is better to wait for a lower price and more games that will be cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantCrow Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'll probably grab it, during the last year or two of its life cycle. Only been on PSN for about a year, so I've got plenty of games to explore. PS5 doesn't look interesting to me anyways. None of the games so far, look like my sort of thing.

Peneuvista Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I bought PS3 on 2011, and PS4 on 2019, so... 2024, 2025 maybe? Sales on PS4 are crazy now, you get jewels for a few bucks. And TLOU Part II will be launch for PS4, so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely day 1. If it doesn't have those, probably several months after launch. If it doesn't have that & the price is unappealing I'll stick to PC & play PS4 for Sekiro and whatnot. It won't have full backwards compatibility. They've never said it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegi85 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Most likely day one as well. My PS4, bought it day one, is slowly dying on me. It occasionally goes into standby for no reason. So yeah, not planning to buy another ps4, I just live with the fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TonicLemonIce Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2020 Nah I'll let day 1 buyers do the beta-testing for me and get the vastly improved second/third version of the console instead. Which is also what I do for games nowadays tbh, never buy day 1 in this industry my dudes 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaberdude Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I'll be buying it day one, for no other reason than I will want the latest stuff. I will also buy the upgraded version of it (not just a slim version or something like that, an upgrade such as the Pro) day one when that comes out and either sell my previous one to a friend for next to nothing or just give it to a friend who can't afford this type of thing.

Ringtonwhaledog Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 At least 12 months after release. Plenty of PS4 games on my backlog to keep me busy but the main reason is many years ago I bought a Sega Saturn on release for £400 which was £150 only 6 months later and so I made a 'vow' to never buy a console on release again...…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartBros Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Nope, I reckon it will be maybe early 2023 before I even think about buying it, if I buy it at all. I didn't buy a PS3 for about 2 years and waited nearly 4 years to get a PS4 due to my PS3 backlog, so there's no chance of my buying a PS5 anywhere near the launch date. By waiting a couple of years, there will be a better model available, it will be cheaper, it will feature improved performance, all the bugs and kinks that it will inevitably have in the beginning will be sorted out, and there will be a greater selection of games available. PS3 and PS4 both had fairly poor lineups of games available when they launched (at least, nothing that made me want to buy them instantly), and other than AC Ragnarok, PS5 doesn't have any games thus far that have piqued my interest, so there's no reason to contemplate buying a PS5. In any case, I have more than enough PS4 games to keep me busy for another 3 years or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABing Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Impossible to say, considering we don't even really know any of the features. It's entirely possible I will get one day one, but it's too soon to say at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I usually wait a couple of years before buying a new system. 16 hours ago, Nightstream88 said: Guess if it ends up being full backwards compatible with PS1-PS4 I probably would, but if it is just PS4 and depending on launch games probably Early or late 2021 and 2022 probably at the latest. This would be a deal-maker for me, too. If the models had full BC, I would buy it day one, just because I'd be scared that they would remove the feature later.

Viscera1900 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I’m probably going to wait for little while (about 6-18 months later I bet) since PS5 game library is going be depressing at launch... There’s still lots of interesting PS4 games I haven’t played yet, so no need to rush on getting my hands on PS5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
