When is your Next Gen cut off point?

[The Fish]

As we move into the next generation console launch, do you have a cut off point your not going to buy games for the current consoles?

Ghost of Tsushima will probably be my final game purchase for this gen, after that I’ll probably just live off my library on both systems till mid September/early October, trade them both in and wait.

Any games that come out after that I’ll save them up to play on the new systems.

[JayTL]

Whenever I end up getting the new systems lol.

But I think after Last of Us, and Tony Hawk, I'm done buying games for a while...so maybe then?

I don’t really have one. I’ll keep buying PS4 games until I get a PS5. I’m not going to miss out on playing something I really want (like Cyberpunk 2077).

Exactly. I'm in no rush to get a PS5. Based on how big the thing is, I'll wait for a slim version. It'll take a Days Gone sequel or FFVIIR 2 to get my money.

I sold my Switch and PS4 two years ago, and Xbox One X last year, bring on the new consoles! I'm saving for the PS5 already, and I'm holding out on VR headsets for the PSVR2. I don't know if I'll get an Xbox SeX yet, maybe in 2 years.

I don’t have one, but I saved some games for the ps5, most importantly Red Dead Redemption 2, I think it’s too good and big to be played on current gen, the same apply to Cyberpunk but this got pushed back anyway

other games I saved for ps5:
- Sekiro
- Devil May Cry 5
- Doom Eternal
- Jedi Fallen Order (this one struggles on current systems apparently)

My backlog is so huge (and I haven't stopped working) that I need to make myself stop picking up games. I really don't see a need for a new console anytime in the near future. It would probably take an amazing killer app.

Played all of those on a PS4 slim along with Red Dead Redemption 2. I didn’t want to be playing catch up with PS4 games while PS5 games are coming out. I played through Jedi Fallen Order twice, no issues with it

I’m still buying PS3 and PS Vita games.

I played through Fallen Order on my day 1 PS4 without issues.

[Musashi]

You kidding? There're still games from the PS2 era I'd like to get ahold of and play

[NARMAK]

I've pretty much had a cut off point for a whole bunch of this year and all purchases typically being held off for the next gen. There are small exceptions which are great digital sales and very cheap titles. Apart from that, all new releases have been nixed until next gen.

[i007spectre]

Bought Last of Us 2 just because I doubt I can avoid spoilers for 5+ months.

I don't have one. Everything I'm buying has been, or will be, cross buy. I'd love a ps5 at launch, but we don't know the price, so I don't know if I'll be able to afford it. If I can afford it, it doesn't mean I'll find one in stock or be able to pre-order it in time. I may as well play PS4 versions of the games I want, and get the free upgrades later.

[Bishop_99]

It really depends on the pricing, storage options or if one can upgrade the NVMe M.2 storage. Also, how many PS4 games may get PS5 upgrades and how many non sports game can hit 60fps.

At the earliest, I will buy it in the Spring of 2021. If some things don't seem as great, I may put it off until the Summer or slightly longer.

I will usually buy the most important physical games and the ones that will be exclusive, which I like, well in advanced of buying the PS5. I bought 7 games in the 6 months leading up to my purchase of the PS4 in 2015.

Mine was April 11th

[TheWildWhelk]

Mine was mid-February this year; i left my PS4 Pro in the boot of the car during 3 days of the coldest weather (i had family issues to deal with and forgot about it) returned and hard a crack as i lifted it out; took it to a bunch of console repair guys who told me the motherboard had a 3 inch crack in it.

Since then any gaming of 3rd party titles has been on my 1X, with only Driveclub and Borderlands 2 GoTY on the PS4.

[Vincanws]

In terms of new games, probably Cyberpunk. That said, any cut-off games will be playable on a PS5 or XBOX Series X anyway, so in reality the cut off is very blurred this time.
