    I wouldn’t, i bought my PS4 last year and got loads of games for €20. I couldn’t dedicate enough time or money to a PS5.

    Bought mine in September 2017. A white pro version for 350€ it came with a game which I sold instantly digital season pass etc worth 110€ got 50€ for it, and then bought BF1 second hand I did all this because I can't afford to buy it on release date as I have two kids a mortgage and a wife. Would love to buy a one on release date my old age and wisdom will stop me in my tracks...

    See i'm torn there is something about having a brand new console that brings me back to my childhood. As others have said some cracking games comes out but i'm assuming that the pretend PS5 coming out tomorrow would be a step up on one x so be a serious machine. Maybe even 4k 60fps dare i say it.

    In reality i love my pro and probably couldn't justify buying PS5 straight away

    I entirely get the excitement factor related to childhood. Gf and I are gamers so if she was up for it, I probably would. In reality though I wouldn't buy it until a few games I love are released solely on ps5. There'll be at least a year of PS4 and ps5 cross releases

    I wouldn't buy it for a least a year after launch, being a launch console it will probably have some design flaws that will need to be ironed out. PS3 intial release, they were a mess and got a complete internal hardware redesign shortly afterwards to aid cooling and remove those silly additional SD MMC slots they came equiped with it that had no use. The initial release of the PS4 had fans that sounded like airplanes taking off and not to mention the coil wine. PS5 will surely have some issues to begin with.

    I agree in theory with what your saying but i dont think lauch consoles are necessary a mess. I had a lauch day ps4 and then a ps4 pro and both were/are perfect. That being said they obviously do revise these things but your talking a couple of years down the line.

    Depend on the price as I already start saving to get one.
    But i certainly wouldn't sale my ps4pro, mine is the 500Mil edition.

    Would wait at least a year or 2 after release to pick one up, especially seeing how PS4 took nearly 2 years to get any sort of decent games out. The only way I would buy a PS5 on release is if it had an absolute game changer of a title at launch, one of those "I've got to have that" experiences like Halo on the original Xbox.

    I think i'm going to go full circle on this....and get an Xbox one X to go along with the Pro.

    Sony are smashing it with regards to exclusives but i can see more and more third party games getting exponentially better on the X compared to the pro with the sheer bandwidth power difference.

    Am i crazy?

    I dont think your crazy. The X has a much more powerful GPU. Still limited by its CPU but fidelity should see a decent boost over the pro.

    The only thing that would put me off is that the new consoles might not be that far away. Personally id probably be a bit hesitant in case they announced a middle of next year launch for them.

    That's what's stopped me getting one up to this point. The thought the ps5 would be announced the next day ha.

    Part of my rationale is that i want to get a 4k player anyway so was thinking this would be an easy way to get it and get better multiplat performance on games.
