Are you guys picking one up at launch or wait for upgraded model? Actually do you think that there will be a PRO model of the new consoles?
I almost never buy a new console at launch. Just don't see the benefit really. I usually wait about 18-24 months, and buy a used console for a lower price, at which point there are usually enough exclusives out to justify having it.
@Dezzy Yeah, I was only counting games I'm personally interested in.
Although I'll argue that FFVIIR is the bigger exclusive, regardless of sales. Many of us have been waiting for this remake since we were kids. It was a dream come true, and, personally, if it turns out well, it'll majorly boost my opinion of the PS4's library on its own.
@redd214 Sony needs to come out of the gate with some massive launch title. Imagine if something like H:ZD 2 was a launch game. That'd be HUGE.
I'm still convinced a big part of the Switch's early momentum was BotW being a launch title for it.
@Ralizah yeah Horizon 2 would be great at launch! They have my business regardless of if they have a major title at launch or not, but I do agree something on that scams from the jump would be impressive!
@Zuljaras Well, to be honest... I just got my PS4 last year. I still have enough titles (including God of War and the rest of Spiderman) to play to last me most of next gen.
Horizon 2 is very likely. But I'm certain there's another one. Maybe a new Gran Turismo; something which they can support throughout the PS5's lifetime. Maybe that one new secret studio that was rumoured to be working on an Uncharted game; but maybe it turns out to be something else entirely.

It was my most anticipated game of 2020, but the fact that it's just the Midgar section has slightly reduced my hype. Now it's my third most anticipated game after Cyberpunk and Xenoblade (and maybe Halo, but we don't know enough about that yet to say)
I'm sure it'll still be great, but I was so looking forward to that epic open-world version of the world map.
If Knack 3 isn't there at launch I suggest we riot!!!!
I thought I saw an advert for a new Knack in the paper the other day. But it turns out I'd just spilled a drink on the page and the ink had bled into an incoherent mess.
I just got a PS4 last year, so I won’t be jumping on the PS5 that soon. I’m sure the leap in graphics and performance will be great, but most of the time it takes a year or two for developers to both release quality exclusives and take full advantage of the hardware. They are releasing some big guns in 2020 for the PS4 with FFVII, Last of Us, Cyberpunk, and they said Ghost of Tsushima is going to still be a PS4 game.
I’m also seeing estimates of it releasing at $500-600 bucks. That’s fair because I’m sure it will be a much more capable machine, but I don’t want to spend more than 400 on a game console.
Well the moment I had been waiting for has arrived. The Division 2 is on deep discount on the Murica PS Store, $21. I just started Destiny 2, Summon Night 6, and Dragon Quest XI. So of course I need another 50+ hour rpg in my backlog. sigh

He's also got Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Planescape & Icewind and Witcher 3 for Switch, @link3710 ....
How are you getting on with that, if you are playing it?

Never mind that I've also got the Digimon Story: Cyber Slueth double pack on the 18th, Destiny Connect on the 22nd, along with Disgaea 4+ and Atelier Ryza on the 29th.
@Magician Jeez you're worse than me. At least I'm only gonna grab Digimon until I've caught up on everything.
I blame my weakness on NIS America. Arguably my favorite third party publisher, I usually purchase each game they release regardless of the genre. October has been brutal as they're releasing five limited edition games this month alone. I only pray that they space their releases out a little better next year (La-Mulana 1&2, Disaster Report 4, Langrisser 1&2, Psikyo Shooter Collection 1&2, and RPG Maker MV).
