Does anyone care about the new consoles?

That is, except for me?

 

2020 has kind of sucked so I got sucked into buying the Xbox Series X under the logic that I wanted something cool to look forward to.

 

There are only two games that look truly next gen (Dirt 5 and some FPS game), and all the reports just make them both sound like they are on fire in terms of rolling out features.

 

I am just curious if anyone else is buying them, and why. But also, if you are not buying one, is there something impeding you (other than you don't want one)?

I mostly care about finally getting an UHD Bly-Ray player (PS5) and maybe a system that is better/faster/quieter with improved versions of streaming apps (I hope) than my current PS3.

 

For some reason after my first XBox died (I don't even remember which version it was, maybe the 360) I switched to PlayStation and never looked back.

 

But yeah, I plan to play some games on it too. Not sure if I care about any of the PS5 games, but I still haven't played some PS4 games that I'd like to.

I was just about to preorder a PS5 last week but then I saw it'll take until NEXT YEAR before it'd arrive cause they're so sold-out, so I dunno, maybe I'll see if I can find one in the local stores on opening day? That's probably wishful thinking.

 

But yeah, an upgrade feels like a no-brainer since it'll run all the PS4 games I'm currently playing anyway, but with an improved performance.

Personally, I waited until it was available on some stores and online stores, and I bought it.
