Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?

Switch and PS5 here. I've already got a gaming PC, so the Series X doesn't appeal nearly as much

Well were are the PC options... I will stick with PC and switch

Both, now the Series X in November ... and after a while the PS5. I already have a master race PC, so just good vibes.

Honestly, I´ve never wanted a Playstation or an Xbox. I´m sticking with the Switch. PS5 looks cool though, but one console is enough for me.

PC.

All Microsoft games. Game Pass. The possibility of more Sony first-party ports. The largest library of exclusives on the planet. Competitive pricing on new games. Mods. No (or the ability to circumvent) censorship. Optional gyro in nearly all games. Almost universal controller support. Emulation. Don't have to pay for multiplayer.

Otherwise, I'm likely sticking with Switch.

This gen I'm going with PlayStation 5 as my second console since I've naturally gravitated way more towards its exclusive content and IPs compared to Microsoft barring very few exceptions.

My Switch will remain my indie and Nintendo first-party machine while I'll be getting most of the Xbox games I'm interested in and multiplats on PC , barring the few timed exclusives on PS5 coming down the line like Final Fantasy XVI, GhostWire Tokyo, and presumably the future VII Remake titles

The console already had me at Demon's Souls and Spider-Man as launch titles.

Also Persona and Kingdom Hearts. You can't play many of those on a Switch can you

I'm choosing the PS5, but also the Series S as my Game Pass machine.

Now that I think about it, why isn't there an Xbox Series S option?

Why not Switch and PC, which is where I'll be?

Switch and Switch Pro 🤷‍♂️

Switch and Series S for me!

I'll just wait for a Switch Pro. I'd rather save up for that, than get the new xbox or ps. I used to be a PS buyer, but honestly, I have MORE than enough great games on switch to play. Like that new Cyberpunk 2077 looks pretty dope, but honestly don't care if I never play it. I still haven't finished Mario Odyssey. haha

I moved in with my sister, and she has a PS4...so I decided to make my own account with that and bought a few games. So, yeah, I kinda want my own, might as well go with the PS5 so my games will run better.

(mainly MH World, since the other game is a Kingdom Hearts collection. lol)

Gamecube after my switch !!!

LMAO why do all these people want a Playstation so badly? Is FIFA really THAT popular?

Xbox’s game pass options make that an easy addition to my TV with my Switch and SNES

Voted SX and Switch but in reality I will probably pick up the Series S for Gamepass. I've realised I could play half of the cross platform games I don't have on Switch yet(Doom Eternal, Outer Worlds, Bioshock coll. is like £7 instead of £35) and that would pay for a Series S itself, and there are a bunch of games that to keep me entertained on top of the Switch.

I’m going Switch and Series S for game pass, but it’s not an option so I hit Switch and series X.

In this generation i've had Switch and PS4, but in the next gen i'm thinking about the possibility to choose a gaming PC.

Sure that PS5 will have good exclusive games, but with poor performance. And every exclusives of XBOX are in PC.

I voted "just Switch", but I'm disappointed that there wasn't a PC/Switch option. I get it, this poll is focused on consoles and PC is something more so technically "just Switch" is correct for me.

Switch and Analogue pocket for me 😄

Where is PC? PC and Switch also for me.

Switch and PS5 mainly.

I also have a PC to cover Series X exclusives. but really in terms of gaming it's PS5 and Switch that's 90% of my gaming time.

My second console is and will always be Nintendo GameCube.

@GannonBanned

PlayStation already has way more games than just FIFA but go off I guess.

Switch, Series S and Ps5

Just the Switch. I already have a PS4, but neither Sony nor Microsoft has sold me on next-gen consoles yet.

Switch and pc 🤷🏻‍♂️

So the most popular option (PC + Switch) is not even available apparently

I hope to have all 3 eventually. A PS5 Digital because I've never owned a PS console so there's lots to catch up on it for me, and a Series X to replace my current One S. But I'm in no rush to get either, given my current backlog and nothing in the horizon for either of these yet that requires them.

Maybe when Psychonauts 2 is released I'll get a Series X, because I want to play the best possible version of it.

Just a Switch + PC for now. I can play all Xbox games on my PC so no need for an Xbox. PS5 games will cost 80 € which is a huge turn off for someone who doesn't buy his games heavily discounted. I also think Ps+ offers the worst value out of the online subscriptions (assuming you are in a NSO family membership as you should be).
If I didn't have a PC though, I'd probably get an Xbox Series X making it my first Xbox console. Microsoft is on the roll recently and GamePass is the ultimate value package.

PS5, Switch and PC.

@nab1 Oh boy if you've missed out on PS thus far you're in for a serious treat. PS4 is easily my favorite console of the entire generation and Sony was easily the most consistent with providing content of all three platform manufacturers.

PS4's got serious bangers and PS5's launch window looks insane.

I always had Playstation, though last gen I got a 360 after the ps4 was released because it was super cheap... I mean Wii free online, Ps3 free online, only silly people opted for 360.

Honestly, I am not sure yet. We have seen so little of the next generation regarding upcoming games that it is hard to choose yet. If you would pressure me to make a choice, I would get the PS5 for the exclusives to accompany my Switch. I'll wait a little longer to make a decision (maybe wait until the console revisions).

Remember when Reggie dunked on the Wii-360 people by saying that he'd rather see people buy a bunch of Wii games instead of an Xbox 360? Good times lol.

Not buying any new consoles. Too poor atm

Switch is the 2nd console

Switch and switch pro

Series X and Switch

All of the above for me 😎

Xbox because of the backwards compatibility and access to Microsoft store.

@Kid_Gamer only Nintendo for me

@geox30 True that! I have a semi decent gaming laptop now but it isn't good enough for a lot of post 2018 games, sadly. Skyrim with 50 millions mods will last me for a long time, though.

@GannonBanned it's not fifa, but kingdom hearts and final fantasy for me!

My second console is a Wii U...

Switch and ps4 at the moment to play the best exclusives around period
I will get the ps5 next year and maybe try gamepass on my phone with Xcloud

Demon Souls made me order it day 1! Xbox is going to get steamrolled

Switch, PS5, XSS

I have my Switch, PS4 and Xbox 360.I'm still undecided between PS5 and XBSX. I feel like I'd gravitate towards the XBox Series X because it can play any of the Xbox One games I may have missed, and I don't care enough about Horizon's sequel or Spiderman's on PS5... I'd rather have Doom which might become an XBox exclusive (and yes, Rare Replay since that looks like itll never come to Switch). I also HATE the PS5 design.

That said, its going to be a while before I jump into the next gen, and so many factors can change my mind- price drops, game announcements, system bricks, Switch Pro, etc.

In 2021 I will get a PS5.

Nintendo Switch and a cardboard box to live in.

You should have put the Option of a PC in there.

If you have a PC there is not much into it hanving a Console from Sony or Microsoft.
The exclusive Titles aren't that great and Companies like Square Enix do release for the PC.

Stadia!

But seriously, if MS release a Series S with a disc dive, im in.

Switch and PS5 for now. There are enough Sony exclusives that I want to justify getting a PS5 soon. I might get a Series S down the road, but I didn't get much use out of my XBox One (less than 1% of my gaming time since buying it), so I don't feel a pressing need to get its successor.

I will probably get the Series X eventually but my next console will be the PS5. It looks the part, has a great looking controller and offers next gen exclusive games at launch with the likes of Ratchet coming up. Even the games also releasing on PS4 look fantastic on PS5. Just a shame I have to wait until early next year for it.

The fact that Series X is launching without any new first party titles (Gears Tactics is a 6 month old PC port) and no sign of when any will arrive is a disgraceful way to launch a next gen console so I won't be getting one anytime soon. Gamepass isn't a factor for me.

PS5 & Switch all the way.

Yep, Switch and PC for me too. And with Game Pass.

If I was going to get one of the consoles, it would probably be a PS5, for Persona and FFXVI. However, this is the first generation when I would give serious thought to Xbox. If I didn’t have a decent laptop already, Game Pass with Zenimax titles and Microsoft’s other studios is a pretty compelling option. Even EA is joining in...

I picked "just the switch". However, just to be clear, it's not "just the switch". Obviously I will be playing on other consoles, but not a PlayStation nor an Xbox

PC main here. I won't be getting a series x as anything exclusive from Microsoft will be coming to PC also so it will be the PS5 disc version.

@LillianC14 if they added a disc drive then it could end up being €400 and at that stage you would be better off getting the series X

@Ralizah "The largest library of exclusives on the planet."

Is this accurate? I actually didn't even know the PC had exclusives. In fact, for all the pros of having a gaming PC I thought this was one of the few downsides.

Probably just Switch, my backlog is big enough as it is, but if I were to buy another console it'd be PS5.

No Xbox series S?! ☹️

I hope we can get switch pro

My series X arrives tomorrow.
Can't wait, even though there is nothing really new to play tomorrow...

Just the Switch, though I do have a PS4 but that’s only because of Destiny.

BRING DESTINY TO SWITCH, BUNGIE!

I honestly don't know yet...
But I might be willing to give Microsoft a chance, depending on what they plan to do with The Evil Within franchise (and to a lesser extent Fallout and Elder Scrolls).
Unless they come up with something special I would probably just stay with the PlayStation brand for home consoles (I would be able to play most of my PS4 games with 60 fps which is of course a plus).

Gonna wait til a PS5 slim before I go near that console. The behemoth literally will not fit anywhere in my house.
The Series X would fit, but everything seems to be coming out for Xbox One as well at the moment, so I can hold off for a while.

Need some PC options. Will be Switch, PS5 and PC.

I have a Switch and a "gaming" laptop that can run most the things that I would need it to run, I think that's a good enough combo for me.

I personally found the PS4 pretty disappointing all in all so Sony has their work cut out to get me back on board, so far they've given me zero reason to get their new system, there needs to be turn based RPGs & SRPGs, Strategy games and fighting games, those are what pique my interest. Making their past system more available (like they did with the PS3) would do wonders for my interest as well, I was super disappointed when the PS4 dropped the support for the PS classics.

Xbox is very much the same, I have almost zero experience with Microsoft's systems (I only bought the OG Xbox for Genma Onimusha at a point when the system had long fizzled over). Their accusion of Bethesdha is of some minor interest though admittedly but who really knows when the next ES is coming out.

@zupertramp There are countless PC games that will never release on consoles. Some because they rely on mouse and keyboard to control. Some because they're quite old and were never ported to other platforms. Some because of content restrictions. And then a ton of them because they just never do, for whatever reason.

The best modern indies do eventually release on consoles, but it often takes them years to make the leap.

Japanese devs used to mostly ignore PC releases in favor of consoles, but that has changed dramatically since the early 2010s. Pretty much every notable Japanese game gets a PC release now.

Modern PC gaming is the best it has ever been, and it's the single closest thing we've ever seen to a universal gaming platform. The biggest exception is that Nintendo will never embrace it. Sony seems to be playing with embracing it, especially after how well Horizon Zero Dawn sold. Microsoft is all in.

Paying for XBOX in installments with GamePass seems like excellent value for a second and current gen console next to the Switch. It'd be great to have access to Rare games again too. PS5 does have good exclusives though.. and I'm a sucker for FOMO. I bet in two years I'll still just be playing my Switch and low Res ports from higher powered systems.

@TheFrenchiestFry I just remember and internal PS4 report that leaked on app usage and people used their PlayStation for netflix and porn way more than gaming - it’s more of a multimedia console than a hardcore gamer thing - i work for a software company and they have some partners in the game world and the insider consensus is that Playstation gamers are super casual - usually sports or racing plus whichever shooting series they prefer between CoD or BF - sure they got God of War and Bloodborne and they sell a few million copies but the actual play percentages aren’t great.

I don’t hate PS or anything either, it was just a joke

Will be ps5 probably in a year or two. I think 300 pound is my sweet spot. But will wait til there is 4 or 5 top quality games that interest me. Have got quite a few PS4 games so will be curious to see how they look on ps5! I got plenty to play in the meantime. That recent article about comfort gaming got me thinking, and am now well into mega drive collection bare knuckle 3, with a manageable difficulty level it is way better than uk or us version. Next gen can wait xxxxx

Switch
3DS / DS
Wii U / Wii
Wii / Gamecube
GBA sp
Xbox 360
And starting Pokemon Uranium

These are ALL current for me, no new generations for at leats the next two full cycles for me!!

it moves way too fast for me I love my games collection and want and need time, years in fact, to actually play them.

Just the Nintendo Switch as I don't have a income right now, and usually I just have Nintendo systems. I didn't have a PS4 or XBox One, nor did I ever have a PS3 or a 360.

I am more-less a strict Nintendo fangirl.

@garfreek now we’re talking - gimme that third person perspective and some swords, people!

Keep fighting the good fights!

After being disappointed how revolutionary the PS4 wasn’t to my gaming enjoyment, I plan on sticking with the Switch for the time being. I bought a Sony because I like Japanese games, and it seems the future of PS will have less of them from now on.

I guess never say never, but happy with my Ninty on it’s lonesome.

just the switch and my PCs

Xbox is going to get destroyed in sales again this gen.

PS1 and OG Xbox are my newest non-Nintendo consoles

I've had Xbox consoles in my living room for well over a decade. The Xbox One, however, is more media service than gaming system for me. The older I get, the harder it is for me to read text on High Def games, so I mainly play on my PC. The Switch lets me play handheld or have a dock to hook it up to my PC monitor. I'll probably keep doing that for the forseeable future. PC games have more longevity anyway.

@Krull Honestly even then if you have a good PC, that's probably incentive enough to duck out of getting an Xbox console since it enjoys a lot of the same benefits and will obviously continue to be the best platform for multiplats in addition to getting the first party Xbox games on a regular basis

I only have a switch, but I'm considering getting a PS4 after the PS5 launch if I can get a great deal, there about maybe a dozen PS4 games (Last of Us, God of War etc) which I would love to play.

@GannonBanned I love how you ask something and then suggest that it's because they want a game that nobody mentions and that makes no sense as a reason to own a PS5.

I already have a PC and X Box has too little going for it at the moment just like with the last generation. Not hating or anything, I would prefer if there would be actual competition so that Sony doesn't get cocky and both brands actually try to fight for customers, but I have the feeling that this generation will do worse than the X Box One in the long run.

Switch and PC.
Maybe the series X when the price drops.
Owned a ps3 and ps4 but I'll be skipping Sony this time around for reasons.

Definitely PS5. I'm sold on Ratchet & Clank : Rift Apart and Forbidden West. It'll be awhile though, don't just have $640 (plus tax) laying around. That's not counting PSN or PS+

Would have voted series S and Switch but for some reason it's not included.

I picked Switch/PS5, but honestly I'm going to be Switch/PS4 for awhile more yet.

I really don't have time to commit to two consoles at the moment, so Switch is getting most of my gaming time, and I'm moving much more slowly on my PS4 games, of which I'm starting to build a backlog.

Given that, I really can't justify buying a new console at the moment, and while I'm leaning towards PS5, it's not set in stone. Series S is serious value, but Xbox generally doesn't get as much Japanese stuff (it is getting much better in that regard, but I'm not sure how much of the uber niche stuff like Senran Kagura will make it over, and I do like those kinds of games from time to time), and they currently have no plans for VR on Xbox, so those are big knocks against it for me. However, Sony's recent stance on censorship has affected their relationship with niche Japanese devs & they've been oblique about the future of VR, so I'm not yet ready to commit to PS5.

Switch and PC here.

@SilentHunter382 S is £249, X is 449. No way is a blu-ray drive going to add more than £20 to the S.

Switch And Xbox Series X .. I will never buy a playstation console again. They became too greedy and also Microsoft now owns elder scrolls

No Demons Souls? No Xbox. Simple.

Switch & PC for me.

Switch and Xbox for me most probably

@TG16_IS_BAE well said lmao

Just the Switch for now, along with a PS4 and Xbox One S. I need more new and exclusive games to play before I buy either of the new consoles. $500 to have current games look better is not a winning formula for me.

I'm all Switch. Over the last generations of systems (and as life gets busier) I learned having too much was a bad thing for me. I'd actually stress out by having games I wanted to play and trying to play between different systems. Whether be on console(s), PC or even handheld (New3DSXL). Stripping it all down to the Switch has really simplified my life. Years back I used to stress so much about missing out on games because it was on this console but not that one or this version is better than this version etc. etc. etc. I'm at a point now I'm perfectly at peace about what I have. No FOMO here.

Bought a PS4 last year and I like it a lot. Don't need a next-gen console immediately but I'll probably get a PS5 a few years down the road when the price drops. The Series S is tempting but the lack of a disc drive turns me off.

Honestly I'm tired of having my AAA games limited by what consoles can do so for the first time I'm not planning on getting a console (except for Nintendo). I'm planning on building a PC next generation. Though with how many games I have yet to finish on Switch and PS4, I could go a long time without buying a new system.

Normally I'd say PS5, but I'd at the very least wait for something like a Pro model when there are a lot more games to play. Plus the only PS exclusive I have any interest in is God of War, which...I can't really justify a whole console for just that one game.

@TheFrenchiestFry I’m a simple man, I see a new Souls game, I lose my mind.

I have zero interest in any Microsoft or Sony consoles or any exclusives that may be on them. I haven't had a non-Nintendo system since the PS2, and nothing since then has even slightly interested me.

My Switch Lite and I’ll stick with my current One X as my second system to play some games I missed in this “generation”

Switch and Xbox Series X. Holding off on the PS5 until PS1 and PS2 games can be played on it.

Mainly want a PS5 for Horizon Zero Dawn sequel.

Switch and PS4 here not PS5. Can't justify costs for it (as well as second controller & inevitable high game costs, at least at first)

Intellivision Amiico. Because I'm old.

PS5 Demon's Souls alone makes the purchase worth it.

I still have a huge backlog on Switch and PS4 so don't have any need for a new console. There might come a day when I just have Nintendo consoles only. The main reason I got a PS4 was for Spyro Reignited Trilogy.

Failed miserably on preorders so neither probably. Probably Series S on the subscription if I can though

Eventually Series X though when depends on stock being available (something I don't really see happening until March at the earliest) and Nintendo's plans for 2021 (the rumoured new Switch revision may be a better choice to upgrade while Xbox is still supporting XB1)

@HotGoomba___Rebrand im the same. the series s is a great price for second machine. The switch is family console )))

I'm in no hurry for a PS5, haven't seen anything that wowed me or nabbed my interest yet. But with my kids getting older, I like the idea of backwards compatibility enabling me to hand my older systems down to my teenagers while having a console I can keep going with on my own, so I figure eventually I'll get PS5. Of course my Switch isn't going anywhere. Never have and never will bother getting an XBox.

@gorguts Right? Plus the solid backwards compatibility. If they didn’t announce that, I wouldn’t bother, but I think they are recognizing how important it is to be able to play older software.

Nintendo and PlayStation are the perfect combo for me!

Why post an article with this title and these choices? Seems like a poor title, imo.

Switch is the only current gen console I will have for a while. Happy with last gen's PS4 and XB1 still for other consoles. Everything is still coming to them for the most part.

Maybe next model of PS5 in a couple years time when games of interest arrive. Took me two years to jump on PS4 as well due to lack of interested games.

Switch and Series X here! I agree that Sony has some exceptional exclusives, but they don't overly interest me, so I'm likely to use the Switch for exclusives and the Series X for multiplats and the odd Xbox exclusive!

Switch, Wii U and 3DS

Just Switch for me but if I were to buy another console, I'd go for XBOX.

Reading a book.

@Balta666 Gaming PC and Switch Nex-Gen.
PC plays all Xbox Series X games, so no need for the console.

Why is PC not on the list then?

Switch and PC is the way to go for me. The PS5 and the new Xbox just look as poor jokes as consoles. They won't have exclusives, for at least the next two years, and most of those will end up on PC eventually. The point on getting a console are the exclusives.

Switch and Playdate!

@Ralizah PC is easily the winner of all systems.
As a bonus, Pc also have 1000's of exclusives not on consoles and a million other benefits.

Just the Switch for me. I have zero interest in the new consoles or the games coming to them, and I don't play games enough for me to warrant buying another console. It's just another of my hobbies, too many other things going on in my life.

Thank you for the none of the above option. That gave me a legitimate laugh out loud moment.

None of the above. Switch and PC for me.

Just Switch. My days of relying an a tv to play are over.

@LillianC14 I am only adding mark up onto that for the drive and redesign. Plus I only did €100 to make it equal of a price increase between the two versions of the PS5.

Upgrading my PC.

Main console: Switch
Secondary console: Switch Lite

I also have a solid gaming laptop for the odd occasion that I may wish to play a contemporary AAA release, but I've barely touched any of the games I had bought since buying the laptop (such as GTA V, Watch_Dogs 2, and countless classics). I rarely use my PC for gaming, but it's nice to have the option. Switch overwhelmingly occupies my gaming time, and I have also dusted off my DS Lite to play Pokémon TCG 2.

Series X and Switch for me because with an aging PC motherboard and processor it is a great bridge for me, and gamepass ultimate gives me everything everywhere and starting tomorrow EAplay is being added to gamepass.

Well Switch and PC primarily. I'll add a PS5 when the price drops some years from now.

Gaming consoles are like pokemon for me......

Just the Switch for me. Don't have enough extra time or money to the justify the cost of a other console just for a few games. After how they handled the Vita, I've become largely disenfranchised with Sony. I've also never been that big of an Xbox fan.

Switch and PS5. Until I'm able to find a Xbox Series X that is. I'll probably get one sometime next year.

@Nookingtons Honestly if I didn't have a gaming PC already I would snap up a Series S as it is really good value for what the specs are so it isn't fair to call people poor if they want the new xbox.

@SilentHunter382 Anyone who picks PC is picking XBOX by default anyhow since there will always be release parody on the platforms.

Switch and Switch only. I've been a Nintendo gamer my whole life with only very few games on other consoles I've really come to enjoy, but it was never enough for me to purchase an Xbox or Playstation at their launch dates. I have a PS1, 2 and 3, as well as a Sega Mega Drive, but only because they were either gifted to me or because they were super cheap.

PS5 will be my primary console. Switch is and will continue to be my secondary console/handheld to play on the go.

I’ve been on the Nintendo-Sony combo for some generations now, but with Sony publishing their first party «exclusives» on PC, and Microsoft doing the same, I’m currently contemplating going the Nintendo-PC route. I’m not buying any of the two at launch anyway.

My Xbox Series X is in the mail and arriving tomorrow. Can't wait, so many games on gamepass that are getting upgrades plus Yakuza Like a Dragon as a launch exclusive. Good times.

Switch and Series X, best combo.

I didn’t know Wii60 was a thing? Most folk I knew either had an Xbox for more casual gaming with friends like Halo, CoD and FIFA, or they had a Wii and a PS3. Both perfectly reasonable options of course!

I’ve been in the Nintendo + PlayStation camp since the Wii/PS3 era. I was gifted a second hand 360 but it didn’t get a whole lot of play so skipped the XB1. Gotta say though whilst I’m still much more excited about Switch and PS5 the new Xbox has some very appealing exclusives lined up. Once they’re actually out and my wallet has recovered I’m in for all 3 this time!

Switch and series S for me, having not had a Xbox since 360 the game pass machine is too good to pass up and will help me stock buyin indies on switch if they are on there. Looking forward to it

@BenAV me too, but I might eventually upgrade my Xbox SX bc I like it as an entertainment hub and have a bunch of games for backward compatibility...

@IronMan30 Easy to drum up tribalistic fanboy clicks

I have a Switch (obvs) but I don't know what I'll do for the new gen yet. I won't probably decide until the first revision and price drop, when there's a better pool of games and the systems are more stable.

I’ll get both new consoles as usual. But the launch is very tepid for me so I am going to stick with my base ps4/xbone until 2023. Will likely upgrade my gpu in 2022. I like to have access to everything, but not at the expense of my bank account.

PS5/Xbox launch is pretty barren if you want exclusive games.

I was going to choose "I haven´t decided yet". "I´ll wait a bit to make up my mind", or something like that, but I see that either you know it already (without having even got out yet lol), or you don´t want them at all. Alright...

Switch and PS5.

PS5 will definitely have to wait, though. Given how 70-80% of their games aren't exclusive to the system itself. As such, there is no rush at all for me.

With a newborn on the way next year, I'm not sure I'll have time for much gaming aside from a few spurts here and there on the go. So Switch it is.

I was interested to see how PS5's DualSense turns out, but at this moment, I'll opt for a second run model.

Switch and PS4 for me. I have zero interest in next gen.

My wife and I have no good reason to go with anything past the Switch. It had a ton of games (more than we can play or afford) and the library on the other consoles just isn't that compelling to either of us. Plus we have computers, so anything that might not be on Switch is probably going to wind up there anyway.

I’ll stick with my Switch and loaded PsVita.
Had a few PS4s over the years but never fell in love with it. I used to buy one for a particular game then sell it on.
PS5 looks great but I just can’t justify spending £500 on it, not with the software that’ll be available at launch.

PS5 or XSX? For me the answer is "yes" and "yes". Only filthy casuals are strictly Sonyponies or M$ fanbois.

switch always comes first and a switch pro would be very welcome soon. nothing interests me regarding next gen at this time.

PS5 got the games. XB1 I assume Ill be able to play on PC and Switch all day every day baby

Getting the PS5 but waiting until the bugs are cleared up and some better games are out for purchase.

Xbox can burn to ash.

Ps5 looks good but both times I've been sucked in by Sony I have been epicly disappointed. First was with the original PS1 I traded my megadrive console and all its games for a PS1 with crash bandicoot and porche challenge. Only to then go to a friends house several months later to play Mario 64 and Diddy kong racing. That PS1 was swiftly sold, and a N64 was bought!

Then the PS2 e3 demos came out and the gamecube was way off. So I got myself a PS2 with SSX and Silent scope, couldnt afford a £39.99 memory card for the first 6 months. SSX was good and Silent scope was a solid port, but that fuel shock controller thumb sticks made it impossible to tilt the right stick left, and the left stick right at the same time without bashing your thumbs together. Nightmare!
Eventually the gamecube came out, and smash melee and SSX tricky so I again ditched the Playstation and got a gamecube. And havent bought a playstation console since.

After the gamecube I got a 360 then Wii u then xbox one (sold it, it was crap), and presently the switch.

Not sure about PS5 or Series X, I'd definitely need some convincing based on previous experiance especially in regards to Sony.

@gorguts $570 to play a remake of a game I've already played to death? No thanks. Looks good for new players, but I think the novelty will wear off rather quickly for those of us who've already played Demon Souls.

I will be getting both Series X and PS5 eventually, but not at launch, and probably not within the first two years. £450 for each one, plus games costing £60+ does not sound appealing.

@Ralizah Yeah I hadn't considered the massive catalog of indie titles and additionally it's true I'll never be able to play Oregon Trail or Space Quest or even WoW on a console but I guess I was just thinking of big budget games. Lesson learned.

I’ve not decided yet. I’m probably going to get a PS5 first, then a Series X, but as for which will be my second... I’m not sure. Probably Series X first, for all the Game Pass and multi-plat games and PS5 will be my second console for the PS exclusives.

I imagine I’ll eventually get a PS5, but it could be years (was over 5 years to get my PS4). It’ll only happen when a game is released that I positively have to play comes out. Usually it would be a Japanese title but so many have been coming out on the Switch and with rumours that Sony may be further distancing itself from the Japanese market due to the PS4’s somewhat underwhelming performance, I can’t help but wonder when that time will come.

At least by then maybe they’ll release a smaller console without the disco collar.

I am sticking with just owning a Nintendo Switch. Firstly from a financial perspective, lockdown has hit the pocket hard so buying a new piece of kit really isn’t a realistic option nor one that I can justify.
X box series X - Whilst the x box game pass does hold appeal, I am certainly not going to shell out money for a console that has zero launch day games! That is just sheer madness full stop.
X Box series S sounds a good entry into next gen at a great price BUT that price is a bit of a fib! You will be able to store 4 or 5 games at max on the on board memory. To make the most of the console you will need to expand and thats going to cost you at least another £220. You may as well buy the X. Also, digital only means if you ever sell, you will not be able to sell any games. Brand new products such as cars and consoles drop in price the moment they live the shop or forecourt. A series S retails at £250. Once you unbox it and use it once, no one in their ight mond will give you £200 for it. £150 if your lucky. Sell on value is important if you are going to upgrade down the road.
If I do decide to take the plunge eventually, it would be for a ps5 but again, there is little to make me want one now anyway. You can pick up a second hand PS4 Pro now for £150. I would be more tempted to buy that now and wait for the ps5 to come down in price in around 18 months time.

Ulitmately though I will be waiting for the Swithc Pro which will likely be announced in January 2021. Sure Nintendo are staying tight lipped but it is coming and it will here in March 2021. What will be interesting is whether we see an upgraded handheld unit and dock together with much more grunt, or whether we maybe see a Switch Home. An upgraded dock that outputs 4K and Switch itself continues as it is....or maybe a bit of both.
Either way, Switch Pro will be my next console. If I buy another console it will depend on price and whether the jump is really worth it. Right now neither XBSX/S or PS5 appeal enough or have shown enough to make me think they deserve to be a day one purchase.

@Tyranexx I think a PS5 slim will come in the first 18 months, possibly xmas 2021 and with a growing catalogue that really put XBSX/S out to pasture.

This will the first time I'm not buying both a launch, and it's simple as to why:

PS5 - I love Japanize games, so older PS models were a must and well worth the price because I was getting games I wouldn't see anywhere else. Now ... the switch no only has all the JRPG that used to be exclusively, they have more exclusives of their own. Sure, PS5 will have some great exclusives in the west, but none that give me FOMO. I can't play every game, after all.

Xbox - Before the last years of the PS3, it was always Xbox bringing us the high profile games from the west, and the Xbox has some must play games at every lunch. Now though, not only are all of them coming to PC ... but Nintendo and Xbox are super friendly, I see a lot of Xbox games ending up on switch.

For the first time ever, I really fell like I only need one system, and it's the switch

Switch will be my only console. I have a PC for everything else.

@Cosmo_Joe I think what we all need to remember is that it is okay to be a one console family. Enjoy what you have - there is no need to be pressured into buying something just to keep up with the Joneses.

One with analog sticks that don't fail after 6 months

@HeadPirate Switch has become my favourite system of all time.

I work full time and cannot keep up with the Switch library. I don't want another system.

@MisterMan That is exactly my point - pick up at ps4 pro now for less than £200 and you can play many of the games for less and still for a great experience,

@GannonBanned that's pretty interesting!

I've got my wiiu for that. It's basically my Netflix machine that also plays games!

(seriously though, porn on your gaming console?... Who does that?!)

Assuming no Switch Pro. The PS5 wins.

My husband may get a PS5 eventually when a few games he really wants release. I am happy with the Switch. There are so many games I want to play on it there is no way I would have time for anything else.

Switch, PS5, and Android TV/Tablet. Don't have to miss out on anything

I voted for just the Switch. If there was any option for Switch and any past console, like the PS3 or Gamegear or whatever, I would have chosen that.
The PS5 and new Xbox are absolutely impressive, hulking devices. But most of these games require a day one download, or an internet check in, which the Switch has as well. I'm nearing 40, and I have plenty of other things to worry about with work and life. My time has become so limited, I end up rarely playing my games, and when i do get to them, they may have vanished from PS Now, or Gamepass or any other digital storefront. I'm ok for now.

@Terra Same. I flit between my Switch and my gaming rig. I'd probably pick up a Switch Pro for better 4k performance though.

Ps5 as main as I love Sony's exclusives (God of War, Spiderman, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Gran Turismo etc) and multiplatform titles will be better here than in Switch. Switch for the Nintendo exclusives. Not getting a Ps5 until next year though. Save £100 off the hardware, get a year's worth of patches to iron out bugs, and a larger library to choose from. There's never much sense in paying extra to be a beta tester of a console on day 1 when there's usually at best just one game that justifies £350+.

Switch and Virtual Boy for me!

PS5 is simply too big. I want my consoles subtle and small.

Is there a switch "pro" or new sony handheld? No? I'm good with my switch then.

If I invest in a second modern console (third if you count my New Nintendo 2DS XL), it will be the Xbox as a) I have a long-standing but deeply-felt resentment of Sony for both dethroning Nintendo and (worse yet) killing my beloved Sega; b) the Xbox seems to have the slight technical edge in the areas I care about; c) I love my Xbox 360; and d) the PS5 is just way too impossibly large.

But more likely than not, I will sit out this console war and wait for Switch 2.0.

Switch and PS5, unless Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 becomes XBOX exclusives. Then I’ll probably break down and buy all three because I’m a sucker for those Bethesda games

PS5 on the way next Thursday can't wait !!!

I was ready to buy ps5 becsusei prefer PS game library, but its ridiculous size & crazy white panels changed my mind. I'll be switch only, it seems.

PC isn't in this poll because drumroll ...PC isn't a console.

PC gamers need to stop deluding themselves that PC is a console.

Those who really love the gaming industry buy consoles.

Among the lineup, just the Switch. As I commented recently (and many times prior - my cutie mark as an Equestrian would probably be a broken record), PS5 predictably shows no signs of Sony's either handheld to stream RP to while Xbox clan has never bothered to HAVE a handheld. For all my oft-whined-about misadventures with the control schemes, I still have a solid amount of playable backlog on PS4 in the mode that led me to buy a PS4 at all. But Switch's belated Gen 9 contemporaries seem to be going into one pile with PS3, XB360, Wii U and other consoles whose libraries I would have long embraced if I could genuinely look forward to so much as TURNING THEM ON regularly. The "future of play" they promise sounds like my relatively distant, retired future instead - although, between my habits like junk food and my country's overall male life expectancy rates, my retirement is not entirely a given either. 😅 So for me, the future of play is Nintendo Switch - the queen of consoles that allow me to be a gamer here and now, inbetween everything that might interfere.

Series X makes no sense to me... all their stuff is on PC too.

@MisterMan it’s so hilariously stupid how people rag on the Switch for having so many ports and remasters of old games then like OMGDEMONSOULS

Switch and PC.
The Switch got all console games I need, Im playing Arma, Squad and Civilization on my comp. No need for another console, I don't play games 24 hrs a day.

For $299, you can pick up an Xbox Series S and have a next-gen system that has upgraded hardware and power.

In other words, between the Switch and Xbox Series S you can have your cake and eat it too since you can pretty much have two next-gen systems without breaking the bank.

Plus, the Xbox Series as a whole is the best value in gaming right now. With this system, you have access to four generations of games from the OG Xbox all the way to the Xbox Series hardware.

As someone who enjoys having his Xbox 360 games like Fallout New Vegas on the Xbox One S, this feature is very underrated, especially if you've invested in an Xbox over the years.

What makes it even better is that BC on the Xbox One already upscales games and makes them look even nicer.

From what I've heard, even the Xbox Series S has vastly better BC than the Xbox One models and can upscale games at an even higher resolution with improved frame rates compared to running those games on their native hardware.

Having a Switch and an Xbox Series system is like getting the best of both worlds when it comes to Western and Japanese games.

Plus, with Microsoft holding the key to Bethesda's IPs, the Xbox (and PC) may be the only place to play Elder Scrolls VI, Fallout 5, or the next Doom.

That alone is enough to make me go for the Xbox Series S

@Lionyone what a dumb generalization to make.

Saving to purchase a PC

@MisterMan Have you got any more insults? I'm wondering if you can write the emptiest comments on the Internet today. Instead of insulting, if you want to sound intelligent, make a substantive point.

I put Switch and Series X, however tomorrow I am recieving the Series S as the X simply wasn't obtainable on pre order day. God knows I tried, I had my X1X on MS store, my phone on Game and Argos, and my Wii U on Amazon and Smyth's toys. All I could get was a Series S as every site crashed on the cart screen .
Next year I will try for a Series X again, by then there should be a Switch Pro on the horizon too.

>implying switch is my first console

Mostly Switch. Any big AAA games i miss out on I'll get on Stadia.

Switch, 3ds and PC, not gonmna bother finding the others anytime soon.

maybe some older stuff because I'd like to retro collect some.

Yup, Wii60 for me all over again. Ever since I stepped into that combo, I never looked back, and I've stuck with both brands ever since. Can't quite fathom the poll results so far, though. PS5 is becoming less and less appealing with every single day and every single comparison posted online.

Not that I was ever gonna buy it anyway, because it looks absolutely hideous, and the controller looks like Wall-E's girlfriend...

Switch + whatever will be the first to give me Fortnite at 120 fps next year, with a controller that has back button/paddle attachments (wondering if those responsive triggers have trigger stops in them), otherwise my Switch +PS4 Pro will do nicely for at least another full year.

I think it was more Wii-PS3, even in England, if we have to judge by the results of the poll, which give a new and totally expected win to Sony. That's how this market works: Sony forever, no matter what they do. That's the way it is.

I'll be getting Xbox Series X. But I'm not sure which console is second to which. At home I play mainly Xbox One, and the Switch is my portable console of choice.

Atari VCS lol

Just the Switch for me, and collecting Arcade 1ups. I couldn't care less about Microsoft and Sony anymore. I may pick up a ps5 five years into the future if there are enough exclusives that can be scraped up for me to justify the price (and if the price goes down enough), but I'm pretty doubtful about that.

@Goat_FromBOTW See I had this theory for a while that the comment the SIE chairman made about Persona being a platform holder for the PlayStation meant that while they don't explictly have any involvement with the games or funding their development, they essentially treat it kinda like a second party franchise for their brand even though it's developed completely autonomously

Like basically how they used to treat Square Enix during the PS1/PS2 era or even how they treat them now with stuff like Kingdom Hearts and FFVII Remake

That and Atlus just being a weird as hell company when it comes to their stance for developing multiplatform games from the start. They've usually either been on the "only on Nintendo" or "only on PlayStation" camp for years and based on P5 becoming their best selling game in history while only being on Sony platforms, I doubt that will change. If anything I only ever expect Persona to come to PC alongside PlayStation from now on.

I got a PS4 last year during Black Friday, so I feel like I'll be set for PlayStation stuff for another year or two. Thus, I am mainly interested in an Xbox Series X. The backwards compatibility will let me play a lot of games I missed out on, like Rare Replay. Plus I'd like to try out Game Pass.

I'll get a PS5 when Persona 6 drops or something, probably. I'm interested in Ratchet and Clank, but I can wait on that one.

Switch, PC and Stadia. I love Stadia.

The Switch and my growing collection of retro consoles.

All 3 for me eventually, but I am in no rush to get a PS5 or Xbox Series X.

I only bought a PS4 two years ago and a XB1 a year ago. My focus right now though is on finally buying an AVS and the upcoming Analogue Pocket and Analogue Duo, while those two last gen systems and the Switch will suffice for my modern console gaming needs.

So I don't foresee buying a Series X or PS5 for several years since there's much I still want to experience on the last gen systems. But when I do, I'll probably buy a Series X first. I tend to like playing 3D games better with Microsoft controllers and I don't see 2D style content like Hamster's Arcade Archives line (Which I prefer the PS4 controller for when not using an arcade stick) eschewing the PS4 anytime soon.

Plus, I feel like Microsoft's backwards compatibility program is more robust and I'd want to reward them for their more consumer friendly decisions there (Just as I went PS4 first over XB1 this generation after Micosoft's early missteps with their forced Kinect 2.0 and pre-release plans for an online mandate and tying physical games to accounts).

I would love to play The Last Guardian in 60 fps though, but will probably buy the disc sometime soon and just keep it on the shelf until I buy a PS5. I've had games stay on my shelves for decades before getting played, so 5 years or so will be nothing.

I already own a switch. Next is my PS5! And are they saying like my first second console? Because l own many consoles. But PS5 is the 3rd most expensive console l'm getting. I got my other old consoles when they were on sale.

I don't see any reason to get the other platforms. I can't play what I want on there and having my indies be portable or on the tv is better than just on the tv. So definitely no reason to get either of the new consoles. they're surrounded by lies anyway. can't even promise whats on the box no thanks.

Even though PC gaming seemingly outnumbers consoles, it's still not an option?
PC and Switch for me. Neither of the new consoles have appeal to me. I'm not a big fan of Sonys first party and I can get most Xbox stuff on PC.
PC should have been an option, not only as a gaming device, but because Xbox has sort of expanded there. This winter, the big change for me is I will be joining the Xbox ecosystem by adding Gamepass/xCloud.

Why is Series S not part of the poll?
Series S+witch + Gamepass, and I'm done for the coming 3 years.

I'm not interested in either of the new consoles. There is nothing new. Its a rehash of old content with a lick of paint.

The XBOX 360 that I bought second hand still has plenty of games.

Gosh I'm getting old. Lol.

I may look to get a Xbox One X or a PS4 when they drop in price after the new ones release though.

Well, technically Switch and Apple Arcade (TV and Phone). I really don't need much more than that.

@Goat_FromBOTW Honestly at this point I'm so burnt out on everything surrounding this kind of stuff like the constant e-begging for ports on Atlus' Twitter and that goddamn hashtag that I couldn't care less if it happens

Persona 3 is my second favorite game of all time and I'd be down for getting Atlus titles exposed to more people, especially the Japan only stuff like Kyuakku Megami Tensei and the first Devil Summoner, but at this point if Persona happens, cool, but if they announce Persona 6 as like a PS5 only game or whatever, it's fine.

This whole thing started squarely because people read way too much into a character being in Smash and it's lowkey draining now. Nocturne and SMTV are on Switch and that's literally all I care about rn outside P5S.

Series S with Game Pass

I plan on getting both but not any time soon, I'll wait for the PS5 Pro in black, and the Xbox Series X redesign.

I've got a Switch and a gaming laptop. The laptop is currently used for business but eventually will be my sim-go-to for Arma 3, Sub sims, Euro Truck and DCS. If I get a tv console, more likely will go for Xbox. Gone off Sony.

I eventually get all the consoles, although usually wait a bit. The only console I've ever got on day 1 before was the Wii, but now I'm getting a Series X tomorrow. The reason is I never got a One, so rather than get a One now and then upgrade in a few years, it makes more sense to just get a Series X.

Usually, I find it's best to wait 2-3 years to let a console's library build up. I'll be getting a Switch Pro in 2021 which will be my first Switch, and a PS5 whenever they do the re-design. 2023 perhaps? I waited 3 years to get a PS4 and was fine doing that.

@Lionyone Sorry, but you're going to get called out for claiming a dumb generalization like, "Those who really love the gaming industry buy consoles." Stop and think for one second. Buying PC games on platforms like GOG, for example, directly support the publisher and developer.

Switch and PC this next gen. Just need to find a 3080 and Zen 3 in stock.

Earlier this year I would have said PS5, but then Sony supported terrorism so I’m out. I don’t really care for their exclusives anyway.

I hooked up my xbox one s last week after many years and got the gold unlimited. With all the 360 games I have in my backlog, I Think I'll give this new gen a miss for a couple of years.

With that, my switch and my ps4 pro, I'll be fiiiiiine for the next while.

I would love to buy a PS5 to add to my Switch, but then I would never finish a game as I still have to go outside and LIVE!

Despite being less powerful hardware wise Nintendo has much funner games...so no need for next gen Sony/Xbox.... but if Rocket League ever becomes unplayable on available Nintendo hardware then I would be forced to purchase an Xbox series x.

I may eventually get a PS5, but for now it's PS4 and Switch for me. It will take a couple years to get enough big PS5 exclusives to really make me get the upgrade.

@zupertramp @Ralizah
There are also games like the Total War series, Anno, most Paradox games like Hearts of Iron and Crusader Kings and more.
Those are pretty big games.

Basically almost the entire RTS genre and most stuff generally going in that direction, you can only really play on pc.

@AwesomEli I am the same way for now. I might change my mind down the road though!

I'm leaning towards PS5, but I probably won't buy a new console for at least a year. I have several PS4 games I'd still like to finish and it's going to take a while. In the mean time, I'll be watching rumors that Japanese game developers are shying away from Sony because of their censorship and apparently losing interest in marketing to Japan. If anything really comes of that, I could flip to Xbox.

Them: "Perhaps you're a hardcore Nintendo fan who wouldn't even dream of buying a rival system?"
Me: yup that's me!

I'm a Switch/PC players

Seriously how did I get here? Who are you people? Atari will rise again. Just you watch!

I'm PS4 with a switch Lite as my secondary console.
I can play most of the upcoming games I'm interested in on my current systems, but as soon as Stray releases I will more than likely cave and buy a PS5

Ps5 at launch and a series X next year maybe 2022.

All of them, as I've been doing since the days of PS2, Xbox, GC and Dreamcast. I also did wanted everything before those as well, but couldn't afford it back in the 90's.

Switch and PS5.
But, i need to wait until 2025 for White PS5 Slim and more suitable games for me.

@garfreek Yeah; We have Roku for a reason!

Still so many games to play on PS4 (and a few left on Switch), that I've no plans to buy either new console as it stands.

I am going for Switch + Series X, I do not like the way PS5 is handling backward compatibility, I will wait for the PS5 slim/pro in the future. Also, I missed the Xbox One so I will catch up with all the Gears and Halo games from tomorrow's last-gen.

Good old Wii 60 <3

I've gone Switch and Oculus Quest 2 as both can be played anywhere (my Xbox one and PS4 rarely get used for gaming now).

@TheFrenchiestFry It would be supremely weird to not see a Persona game launch on an older piece of Sony hardware. I'm not even sure what Atlus would do with all of the power in the PS5.

@Ralizah My assumption is that P6 is probably cross gen like P5 was. The earliest they talked about it was like a year after P5 released in the West so it was probably in pre-production while they were finishing up stuff like P5 Royal and while P-Studio was also being reassigned to work on the spinoff titles seeing as how P5D/P3D was in house and they did contribute to the music and story of P5S while also supervising the design of the new characters created for that game

P6 is probably now officially in production and will likely be announced this coming year for the 25th anniversary of the series. They'll probably hold like another concert livestream in late 2021 after SMTV is released

Voted for Switch + Series X, but could be years before finally adding an Xbox, and it could end up being Series S or just Switch.

I guess just the Switch alone is a bit more likely, but I wanted my vote to reflect that I’ve been warming up to the idea of a non-Nintendo product, specifically an Xbox, in my house.

Switch and Gameboy Micro for me.

Switch and PC

I don't have the time or attention span for two consoles anymore, so I'm sticking with just the Switch, for the foreseeable future.

@TheFrenchiestFry Seems like a safe bet. No reason not to have a cross-gen launch and take advantage of the higher framerates and resolutions afforded by the more powerful console.

Atlus really has its plate stacked high recently. Persona 5 Scramble, Nocturne HD, SMT V, maaaaybe Persona 6.

@Terra I'm in exactly the same position.

Got my PS5 confirmation email this morning 🙌🏻

PS4 first, Switch second. Simply because the PS4 exclusives are more to my liking. I'll get a PS5 next year.

Already got my PS5 pre-ordered, although it won’t arrive until late November & won’t get opened until Dec 25th. Between that & my Switch I’ll be fully satisfied. Switch will likely be most most played console though.

Pc with 2080 ti, series X, PS5, and switch.

I've not forgiven Microsoft for trying to get rid of physical games with the Xbox one.
It's PS5 for me on principle even though I like the baccy compatibility on the Xbox series X.

No physical games = no gaming for me.

PC and Switch is really all you need. 90% of console exclusive games come out for PC sooner or later anyway these days. only Nintendo is holding back with that so if you wanna play that you need a switch.

@geox30 Cause the PC is not a console. Though they should have added an option for switch and pc i think

@GannonBanned there are more games, FIFA is not the only game on PS5

I'm got Switch and PS5 will be getting at some point though. Got a PC but its losing its gaming machine throne as it says it can't even handle the new wow. but luckily atm i can play wow and i sure hope it can run the new wow to a degree even if my processor is not good enough. Also it says it can't run gears 5 but it does badly. In short hoping that cloud gaming can fix my PC lol.

I was thinking of finding a cheap PS4 pro at some point, but I'm undecided

Switch and ColecoVision. Maybe a ZX Spectrum as well if I'm feeling sassy.

Switch and 3DS

I have absolutely no interest in either. I bought a PS3 because I wanted a 3D Blu-ray player and an XB1 because I wanted a 4K Blu-ray player. I’ve barely played any games on either. I’m just a Nintendo guy. Switch and my other Nintendo consoles is enough for me.

For foreseeable future, just my switch and my PS4. I play them 80%/20% with switch at 80%, so don’t see a need to get a ps5 right away

I’m afraid if I invest in a PS4 or PS5 to go with my Switch, my daily game time would bloat from “borderline unhealthy” to “straight up obscene.”

Nintendo is my deliberate sole choice for this strategy, as it’s the best fit for me and my kids.

Not that I’d turn down a free Play-Sta, if anyone offers! 😆

I do so wish my Switch had even basic online features, though, to make it easier to game online w friends and fam.
It’s like I don’t even know why I bothered to swap friend codes if I can’t reach out. 😑
Please, PLEASE address this with Switch Pro!!

My Switch and gaming PC are all I need.

PS5 but I won't purchase one right away. I already own a PS4 and Switch. My PC isn't good enough for modern AAA games. I primarily use it for older games and indie games that can't or won't come to consoles.

You guys a so old fashioned. You forgot all the new "cloud consoles" : Stadia, Luna, Geforce Now, xCloud or even PS Now.

I am going to use the Switch and Stadia for the time being. A perfect combination at the moment.

Previously I needed a PlayStation or Xbox for my secondary consoles to play big heavy AAA titles. Now that is history.

Switch + Stadia (or any cloud gaming service) is just so much more flexible.
And I do not need any of those big ugly boxes in my house anymore.

At least 5 people in the comments said Switch + Stadia

I'm probably going to go Xbox Series X at some point. I already have a Switch and a gaming PC, yet the combination of a Series X and Gamepass is very appealing (plus the large catalogue of 360 games and Xbone games that are already on the system in insane). Pay a small fee and get to sample AAA games I might not buy otherwise for my PC and still get to enjoy the multi-media box that it is. It is a very appealing system for gamers on a budget.

Switch and pc

@TheFrenchiestFry I'm not 100% that P6 will be PS5 exclusive. The Switch is selling like gangbusters in Japan and the PC sales of P4Golden were really good. I feel with Sega in the position they are right now won't want to sacrifice sales to help Sony's portfolio unless they get some major kickback to keep the series exclusive to Sony systems.

Switch, Ps5, and PC for me. I've moved away from my pc since the switch launch, and plan to buy a ps5 to play RE8. Even though my gaming pc would have better graphics vs the ps5. I plan on getting an Xbox someday, but years from now.

@Krockman same boat as you

PS5. Demons Souls right out the gate, then such exclusives as FF16. Can’t be beaten. Also, unless the Switch gets an upgrade fast it will be relegated to a kids toy.

Actually I'm going into 2021 with a Switch and Xbox Series S, instead of the series X. I play a lot of games on the PC, and more and more on the Xbox Game Pass for PC, so it makes sense for me to go back to Xbox after going for the PS4 last generation. I also travel and move around a lot! So the compact size of the Series S is a big reason for me to choose that over the X. Power and graphics capability for me isn't the top priority when it comes to my console gaming...which I think a lot of people on this site can relate to!

Nothing as of now. My Switch and PC are enough. Down the road when the PS5 has more exclusives and is a bit cheaper I'll pick it up (and hopefully a redesign).

I'm just "Switch" I think. But if I go in on another system, it's going to be the Xbox. I really enjoyed my 360 and really didn't care for my PS4. Plus, I'm a huge fan of Bethesda Games. However, at the moment, it's way easier for me to game with the flexibility of the Switch.

@Wexter I highly doubt Switch but PC is extremely likely at this point.

Switch may be doing extremely well but not only does there seem to not be that much demand for numbered entries on non-Sony consoles from Atlus' core demographic in Japan, but the only way I can actually see Persona going over to Switch is if the games just started selling badly on PlayStation, as that's exactly why SMT kept flip flopping between Nintendo, Sony and even Microsoft & SEGA consoles before ultimately sticking with Nintendo. Persona doesn't have nearly as rocky of a sales history. In fact P5 is their single best selling game in history and that's a PlayStation exclusive entirely. That alone is more of an indicator of the direction the series will go in the future coupled with the fanbase the series has cultivated through the PC community. Persona 6 is probably staying PS console exclusive with a simultaneous or timed PC release, but P5R's sales have basically informed Atlus literally nothing is wrong with their strategy at present.

Kinda tempted to get a Series X mostly for the backward compatibility — i've never had an Xbox before, so by the time i get through the thousands of new-to-me games, the Series X should have some games of its own — but neither of them are an option until i can get a decent internet connection.

Switch and PC (and ps4) currently. It will probably stay that way until ff16 or possibly horizon 2. Not much on the ps5 looks great to me right now.

There needs to be a option for the oculus quest since I have no desire to play anything anymore but that and my switch.

@DeathByLasagna My Switch and PC are enough
I like this even a PC with SLI GPU will eat xbox/psx in a full course meal.

PC then Switch, bang for bucks argument doesn't hold if you got those two systems

@SwitchForce SLI and Crossfire are dead. You'd be a fool to run multi-adapter in 2020

Sticking with just the Switch. But I plan to finally pick up a PS2 after Christmas!

Think I'm done with consoles besides Nintendo. I have ps4 pro also, but I feel like a gaming PC is my future.

Neither. I have a Switch, PS4, and gaming PC. The Switch is my favorite console of all time already and I play the hell out of it while my PC is my secondary that I use for AAA 3rd party games that are graphic intensive. Sony’s exclusives don’t appeal to me any more and there aren’t that many either. Now if they brought back Sly Cooper I would have to rethink that, but anyways. And Xbox has never really appealed to me

Neither, my PC is my 2nd console and it does its job just fine.

Switch + PS5

Already have a 3080. So no need for an Xbox.

PS5...when they cut the price, has some more interesting games and give it a redesign it to get rid of that horrible form factor.

Xbox? never. That company has no place in gaming.

PC? Maybe. My current one is showing its age so it will be a matter of time until I change it. But even so, I am not that much of a PC gamer.

Until then, I stick with Nintendo.

Ps5 all day. With demons souls and spidey. I’m a happy camper

There's plenty of life left in the Switch and my next console would be... hmm... a Switch Pro.

According to Kotaku, you shouldn't buy either. Getting a PS5 makes Kotaku sad because not everyone can own one and the Series X has scary holes.

I picked "Just Switch" but in reality I still play Wii/WiiU, PS3/4....scoop, yeah.

Switch, XBOX Series X (will arrive today), PC. I will get the PS5 when it has exclusives I need to buy, so that's not until Horizon Forbidden West.

And if Nintendo releases a Switch Pro next year. It will also be purchased, but only if it's playable as a handheld. If it's TV-only it will be skipped.

I'm actually looking into a gaming laptop, there's a few good ones now you can buy off the shelf.

I'll probably grab Xbox Series X if Elder Scrolls is exclusive to it. If not I may well grab the PS5 but I wouldn't be too bothered if a Switch Pro dropped.

Switch only this generation. None of the games coming for the other consoles appeal to me at all, and I have more games than I can get to anyway. Hoping for a Switch Pro though.

I stopped running super-high-powered consoles and PCs once I realized they were turning my gaming room into a sauna.

The Switch, a Ryzen 3400G PC, my tablet, and classic emulators and romhacking/modding is way more than enough to keep me entertained.

Really just want a spec boost for the Switch soon.

PC (with Xbox game pass) and Switch, the most ideal combination.

Sticking with Switch and PS4 for now. Not sure yet if PS5 or Series X will be next.

The 8% of people who said all three have too much money!

@Balta666 spot on.

@MisterMan A PC isn't a games machine the way consoles are.

switch, series x and pc

I'll buy a PS5 eventually, but not now. No point to when both the system and its games are at their most expensive, there's not much to choose from and I've got a lot of stuff to play in my recently purchased PS4.

It would take a must have game and a serious price drop to get me to buy a PlayStation again.

8% of people are too rich for this world

Just switch for now , totally undecided on xbox versus sony this generation. Though I recently bought a ps3, so many good games to get through on it. And it was cheap.

Going with Switch and SeX. Don't care for the majority of PS' first party IPs and their third party ones are usually either *Also On PC or *Timed Exclusive, both of which just mean that getting them on console is a waste of money for me. I don't really care all that much for Xbox's IPs either, but Game Pass negates the need for me to get my fill of them.

Sure I'm not the only one sticking with PS4 and Switch (and PC), but that's not the spirit of the article:

Right now, I'd probably go PS5. We are in on two exclusives: Horizon and Spider-man.

However, I believe this choice will only get harder over the upcoming year as the entire game landscape is better known and reviewed.

We just got the PS4 last Holiday season, so we can wait.

I need to get a new laptop soon anyhow, and it'll be cheaper to pay extra for a high-end gaming laptop than get either of the new consoles, and that'll give me access to pretty much any of the games I'd be interested in getting on the other consoles.

I still can't tell the difference between a PS3 and a PS4. Or an XoBoX... uhhh.... those names are confusing. I'm perfectly happy with my Switch on the train and at home, thank you.

Neither. I barely ayed my PS4 or Xbox.

Just Switch for me. I guess I have a nice PC too, but, I'm really more into Nintendo 1st party games and indies and Nintendo has me covered there. There's way too many great games on my current hardware that I'll never have time to play already, so, it seems like a waste to get anything else.

The PS4 and XBone somehow passed me by, so this year might be a good time to pick one up while there'll be a cheap surplus. I can't say I'm too bothered though, I have a mountain of games for my Switch and previous systems still to work through. If anything, it's more likely I'll be selling some stuff rather than acquiring more.

I'm still trying to get me a PS4

And no, i will not choose to buy a PS5 over a PS4, i want a PS4 now and PS5 later.

I can't fathom why anyone would ever buy a PS5 and a Series X. Then again, I can't imagine owning a Series X at all, honestly, with a gaming PC.

Also, why is the Series S not on here? I mean, it is a new console and it's something presumably some people will buy.

Just my Switch and my Potato. If I had money and time I'd go for the PS5, of the two systems, because Demon's Souls. I hope to find a way to play it that won't cost $700 CAD.

Switch and PS5. If I had the money I would buy a PS5. PlayStation have more first party games I'm interested in i.e Spiderman, Ratchet and Clank than Xbox. I can buy all the big third party titles like Star Wars ect and any that are on Switch I would buy for PS5. I would keep my Switch for Nintendo's own games and any Switch exclusive games. They would be my dream pair.

There is no need for Xbox as I have a gaming pc and I can play all games there. Sony oftenly releases their exclusives on Steam. Nintendo is the only console trying to not mimic a pc... so what's the point of another console?

Ahem, but where is the switch pro option?
