Gaming Are you planning on buying a Series X?

[RyRyIV]

As the title says, I'm just curious how many here are interested in picking up an Xbox Series X once it releases, or how many are planning on breaking away from Xbox for one reason or another.

Unfortunately due to the current world-wide pandemic, I doubt I'll be able to afford one at launch. But I'm definitely interested in picking one up as soon as I realistically can!

 

[Medveitsi]

Yes

 

[sarkwalvein]

Not sure if at launch, but yes.

MS have given me little reason to consider one since most of the console wise exclusives will also be on PC.

In time this may change and I find myself getting one for whatever reason e.g. bedroom console, but the PS5 will likely have exclusives in time which may make it a more worthwhile purchase.

For now my plans are to stick with the current gen systems (get through my backlog) + PC and then get a next gen system mid-cycle when the inevitable ‘pro’ models launch.

 

[DinohScene]

Doubt I'll get it at launch but yes, will get it.

 

[spotanjo3]

Nope. All the way for PS5. I can easily getting those games for NEWER PC desktop instead.

PS5 will probably get a lot of the good Japanese games again that Xbox wont see but i hope thats not the case this time around.

Only thing that really interests me with Next Gen is the Backwards Compat support and how well it's done. Microsoft seems ahead of the curve but unfortunately will probably suffer the same fate as the 360/ONE in that only some the games will get added over time.

I will be sticking with my PC as thats my preferred platform.

The backwards compatibility that they've discussed is actually one of the things I'm most excited about! I'm hoping that it doesn't end up as more of the same that we currently have, no matter how likely that is. If I'm able to sell my Xbox One to help fund a Series X, I'm all in.

Hope it turns out well for you man. From what i've seen though most if near all Xbox One games at least should see support on the new Xbox due to most of the games still being sold digitally on the Xbox Store and how similar the architecture is.

I'm more interested in the Original Xbox and Xbox 360 support and the enhancements but i'm sure Xbox One games will also get some nice added bells and whistles on the new Xbox too.

Going by history most of us usually regret selling our previous consoles later on.

 

[BORTZ]

Probably not. I haven't had a Microsoft console since the 360 and that was only because all my friends were doing it.

 

[nero99]

nope. I'm happy with my PC

 

[McBing]

The problem I see is the same as with this Generation, for everyone that has got a decent Gaming PC, the Xbox ist just "useless". I have a Xbox one at home, but I never really used it, my 360 has been heavily used in the days...

We will see what the future brings for the Series X, currently I have no desire to get one

 

[Paulsar99]

Probably just build a new pc. Pc also makes me able to play ms exclusives online for free.

 

[CORE]

No I have PCs.

 

[duwen]

Anyone making that kind of decision this far in advance of ANY of the new systems releases is at best easily swayed by marketing and at worse financially irresponsible.

I'm on the fence for both - hell, I'm still on the fence regards the Switch!

 

[Esdeath]

Since MS releases nearly every game also on PC and the console as multimedia station isnt interesting for me I am probably gonna get the PS5.
But I will wait for 1 year or so after release, just remember YLOD and that thing with the HDMI port on PS3/4.

 

[andyhappypants]

Yep, I’ll be getting one. I don’t game on any of my pcs so exclusives don’t bother me that much

 

[Rafciu]

Yes i already decided to stay with Xbox for another generation because PS5 probably will not have full backwards compatibility, that was a thing that have my attention not exclusives. Im planning to buy one not in 2020 but in late 2021 for now im happy with my old xbox one.

 

[The Catboy]

I have personal issues with Microsoft and tend to avoid their products, so going with no

 

[Flame]

yep in the year 2030+
