My decision to get an XB at alunch hinges on backward compatibility.  What is known:

- Will play all non-kinect XBOne games (makes it an easy choie to trade in your existing Xbone, here in Au it drops the price of the new system by $200).

- Will play all of the 360 and Original XB games that can play on the Xbone (and this is where I get hung up).  There is "only" 700 games on that list right now.  I'd like to know more. I have a lot of original XB games and only 14 of them are on that list.

Playstion 5 - -it's academic at this point, they are sold out in Australia until next year (at least that is the earliest retailers will commit to at this stage).  I'll get one when they are easy to find, not before.

PlayStation 5.5? I bought the PS4 on release but I can wait for the PS5.

In my experience, if PC were a console its unreliability would be surpassed only by the original Xbox 360.

I’d like to get the Xbox Series X first and a PS5 later on sometime.

Next gen hasn't impressed me much so far. Gran Turismo 7 is the only game I'm interested in. Many games this gen (PS4.Xbone) have become visually too "noisey" for me; next gen looks to be even more so (yes, I am getting old).

Next gen never impresses me at the start. Law of diminishing returns, I suppose.

I leaning on getting a PS5, I like the first party titles Sony makes.

Though I don't think I will get one at launch.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

I have to admit, I'm actually conflicted for the first time ever about what my next console will be. Most of the series that I've enjoyed in the past were originally Sony exclusives, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. In fact, I think the only Sony exclusive that I'm still interested in is The Last of Us. If Sony doesn't choose to revisit their back library one way or another, I can't say I'll have any real incentive to go for anything other than the system that offers the greatest value.

I'm going to keep my eye on the Xbox series S. I like the price, small form factor, and backwards compatibility. I also only have a 1080p TV so 4K is overkill. Cheaper than upgrading my PC too.

It is a tremendous value if you have unlocked internet acheivement.

Does PS5 play ps4 games? I would lean towards that as I never owned a Sony console. But the prices are ridiculous now anyway. I've grown used to the convenience of Switch. I'd play all my old games on this.

PS5 will play the majority of PS5 games, eventually. They haven't really gone into detail about which ones however. Oh it's known as that it's going to be handled kind of how 360 games could be played on the Xbone through updates and such.

Sony said only the Top 100 most played PS4 games will be compatible at the launch of the PS5.

I am also predicting a high probabilkty that after a while, PS5 will stop playing the majority of PS5 games.
