just curious what to do once PS5 launches. PS5 is supposed to be backwards compatible with PS4, so there is no need for both correct? when I get a new watch I only wear the new one, although I have two arms so why not wear them both? what's the deal with airplane food?? D:

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

I keep all of my PlayStation consoles with me in bed.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Nope.. Once PS5 arrives I'mma toss it aside a neatly set it up.

 

[Hendrick's]

I don't keep outdated junk.

 

[bucyou]

just as a hunter mounts his conquest's head on a wall plaque, i will do the same with the ps4

 

[Sub_Level]

Naw. Will trade it in at gamestop for my PS5. I'm sure they'll give something shitty like $100 trade in value but whatever.

None of my younger cousins play videogames so can't give it away either.

 

[Ban Puncher]

I keep all my consoles and games.

No solider left behind.

 

[fran.fernandez]

As I always do, I will just sell it or give it away

 

[Batiman]

Hopefully I’ll be able to put it away and ps5 is fully backwards compatible. Too many consoles not enough space

 

[Trogdor1123]

Probably hand it down if there is cross gen play

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I will trade in my Pro toward my PS5

 

[Codes 208]

If the ps5 is bc and costs $500+ then fuck no

 

[SurprisedPikachu]

If there’s true backwards compatibility where all my existing games work out of box, then I’m tossing the PS4 completely. Why have an inferior console to play games when the PS5 will play the physical and digital games I own?

 

[HeadsUp7Up]

Trade-in or try and get a couple hundred on Craigslist or Facebook.

 

[Jtibh]

I keep all of my PlayStation consoles with me in bed.

I am sorry you battle such a .....small.......problem

 

[JORMBO]

I’ll box it up and pack it away. If I can get a good amount for it I may trade it in.

 

[Justin9mm]

Not a collector, once I have set up the PS5, the PS4 Pro will be sold off.. It helps re-coup some cash back for PS5

 

[Bullet Club]

I'm going to put the PS5 on top of the PS4 so they can hump and make a baby.

Maybe not.

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

Mine will end up in my bedroom to replace my fat launch PS3 which will get retired to my console collection shelf in my office

 

[RavageX]

I might actually get rid of my PS4 Pro. I almost never get rid of consoles, but my pro sometimes doesn't load discs without lite persuasion so......it might have to go.

 

[CEJames]

Depends on if PS5 is 100% BC or if its 50-75% for w/e reason.

 

[magnumpy]

come to think of it I don't really have a lot of room left for the PS5 in my entertainment center. I'm talking a matter of millimeters here. PS4 fits just barely but if PS5 is any larger, like say just the size of the PS4 Pro, and I'm looking at a complete reshuffling of how I have things organized. first world problems are a insurmountable burden

 

[PropellerEar]

If BC is true, I will just give my PS4 pro to someone.

 

[V4skunk]

As soon as I get PS5, PS4 is getting given away or sold.

 

[Pallas]

Will be dependent on how backwards compatible it will be with PS4 games and PSVR compatibility.

 

[small_law]

I traded in both my original Xbox One and PS4 when I upgraded to the PS4 Pro and One X. I don't do that typically, but I just didn't see the point in having them. It was really easy to get rid of that original Xbox One, let me tell you.

Until plans are backwards compatibility/cross generation support are made clear, I'm planning on hanging on to both half step consoles for now. I don't see myself trading in either of them. I didn't trade in my original PlayStation or PlayStation 2 because of the backwards compatibility in the launch PS2 or PS3 respectfully.

 

[PocoJoe]

Sell it just before ps5 launch

Plan were to trade it into gamestop but they will shut down all their stores atvmy country and go out of business in april.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

If BC it'll go in the closet, if it's true that the PS5 is BC with 1-4 my PS3 will go there two.
It'll be a much better living room for sure.

 

[Danjin44]

If I can't play my PS4 games I already own on PS5 then yes I will keep my PS4.

 

[Inviusx]

I've kept my PS3 connected since I got got my PS4 because of that "you never know when you might want to boot up an old PS3 game" feeling.

As of 2020 I haven't turned it on in 6 years.

So no, my PS4 Pro will be traded in towards the 5.

 

[greencoder]

Sure, there are so many good memories with this beautiful piece of hardware.

 

[Sussoloc]

I only keep my offline only Nintendo + Sega consoles. Those pc like consoles where every game needs online patches are not worth keeping (till the zombie apocalypse). I will sell my PS4 next month and my X a month before the XSX release.

 

[bhunachicken]

Nah. I'll either sell my PS4 or give it to one of my friends' kids.

 

[Virex]

My PS3 is still plugged in and I still use it a lot. So if the PS5 comes out and it has BC I will still use my PS4. Never sold any of my consoles and still have them all

 

[Elektro Demon 2.0]

I already sold it and went full pc.

 

[demigod]

Keeping my Pro. About to give my white ps4 to my wife’s nephew in Vietnam.

 

[lachesis]

Most likely, it will go to my basement retro station - otherwise it will be boxed up and put into my closet.
I wonder if Sony would allow PS5 to play other than PS4... that's actually more important for me. If PS5 can play and recognize all the games I bought on PS3 (for PS2 classic and some PS1 games, as well as maybe some Vita/PSP games) - It would greatly help me to de-clutter the ones in the retro station.
It's confusing as heck, as while I have all these purchases, only some appear on PS4 and some appear on PS3, etc....

 

[MightySquirrel]

With BC ps4 pro will become completely redundant once ps5 launches.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Yeah I dunno.

I stuck a dark blue vinyl wrap on my PS4 Pro.
I will change that vinyl to match the look of PS5.
If PS5 is shiny piano black, then I will get a matching PS4 Pro vinyl so that I can display them beneath my 4KTV

 

[Psykodad]

If PS5 has BC, then no.

If not, no.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

...................why...?

 

[rofif]

No if PS5 is bc without any faults

 

[Ar¢tos]

Yes. Next to my ps3 and ps4. I have 2 TVs next to each other and I use the ps3 and ps4 (on a switch) for Dvds and streaming apps. With the ps5 I won't need the switch anymore (my ps4 doesn't read discs).

I've kept my PS3 connected since I got got my PS4 because of that "you never know when you might want to boot up an old PS3 game" feeling.

As of 2020 I haven't turned it on in 6 years.

So no, my PS4 Pro will be traded in towards the 5.

You never know. I didn't game on my ps3 since I got the ps4 but kept it for any game I might have missed and any game I would want to play again (besides being my dvd/bluray player) and in November last year I got the itch to play a ps3 game and ended up getting platinum of 3 ps3 games in a row. The graphics didn't bother me at all. There is no hurry for nextgen as long as good games keep being released.

 

[GymWolf]

Not if gamestop make that "give me your old ps4 for a big discount on ps5" promotion.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

No, with BC i won't need it. An i'll sell one of my two PS3 and japanese PS2 and PSX.

 

[dispensergoinup]

I'll probably bring the PS4 to my room and hook it up along with the Switch there.

Keep the PS5 in the living room for couch gaming.

 

[shaddam]

My 2TB ps4 will be relocated to my parents, next to my secondary ps3. If I'm eating some lángos on the weekends and I want some gaming atleast I have more choice
I never sold my consoles, only my c64 as a child, and I really regretted it. Furtunately I bought one a few years ago.

 

[TGO]

If PS5 is actually BC with All PlayStations?
Then no, both my PS4 PRO and PS3 will retire to the shelf next to my PSX and PS2 for display
My original PS4 is in another room so maybe switch it with the Pro

 

[TLZ]

I'll move it to the bedroom to make any use of it if I'm ever in there.

 

[TheGreatYosh]

I kept my PS2, but I got rid of my PS3, and I'll get rid of my PS4 once PS5 comes out.
