If it has BC, why would I? I only keep my PS3 because there's no BC and I can't resign myself to abandon around 20 unplayed games

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Nope. Will be selling my PS4 once I finish TLOU2.

 

[Old Retro]

I have my PSX, 2, 3, and 4 within a few feet of each other as well as Wii and 2 Dreamcasts. All semi-neatly arranged so I don't look like a hoarder/crazy cat lady. Not gonna hold my breath for PS5 BC. Plus transferring all that data would be a pain in the ass.

 

[TTOOLL]

Probably not, but I'm only getting my PS5 by the end of 2021 the earliest.

 

[LordOfChaos]

With full BC, digital and physical? Nah, I'm getting whatever little residual value will be left in the PS4 and putting it towards the 5.

 

[Damigos]

Whats a PS4?

 

[Hawking Radiation]

I'll do it.

I'll look fondly, lovingly at my shiny new, QUIET, PS5 while throwing up the middle finger and spitting in disgust in the direction of my PS4 Pro.

 

[zeorhymer]

Nope. If it'll play all of my PS4 games, there's no reason for me to have 2 consoles clogging up my entertainment shelf.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

I still have a PS3 under my tv. But if I get a ps5 I'll probably give the PS4 to a nephew or niece.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Unless the PS5 looks better than the PS4 Pro 500M edition, it ain't going nowhere.

 

[LOLCats]

I got a couple PS3, anyone want to buy one?

 

[@gkTH]

Once the PS5 arrived home, no need another old school PS in my home.

 

[MagnesG]

Would the trade in value goes down significantly lower after PS5 releases? Though I'm sure it depends on whether the PS4 is the main system or not.

 

[KiNeMz]

Really depends on how big it is.

 

[SurprisedPikachu]

Save files?

Cloud.

 

[Jigsaah]

Nope, selling it, just like im selling my X. coughin up a grand at launch means less money for games. Gotta stop the bleeding somewhere.

 

[njean777]

yeah, cuz I won't be getting one for some time as the Series X will be purchased first. Probably mid gen or even late gen before I get a PS5. Unless MS really messes up or something.

 

[Metroiddarks]

I will kep it but maybe will rest in another place in my room

 

[Bl@de]

If it is 100% backwards compatible? No. I only have my PS3 because the PS4 isn't backwards compatible.

 

[KURDISTAN YPG]

nope im put it downstairs as media player for my tv and download all the casual games on it loll,

 

[Azurro]

I'll sell my PS4 Pro a month or two before PS5 comes out to get a better value out of it.

I mean, with the PS5 being backwards compatible, why keep it?

 

[daninthemix]

Don't assume that I have a PS4.

I mean I do, but it's not your right to assume that.

 

[ShadoWB4MV]

Since the ps5 will supposedly be fully retro compatible, I might sell my pro and keep the regular model just for keeping the collection complete.

 

[phil_t98]

If they implement back comparability the PS4 I own should become redundant. Just have one console on display.

Also hoping with back comparability we see res jumps and more stable frame rates for PS4 games

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

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

Same for me, i still have them al, the PS1, 2, 3 and 4. And when i buy the PS5 than number 4 goes ( not in my bed, i'am a fan but not that kind of fan) on the display with led lights besides the other 3

 

[Sosokrates]

I will sell my pro to help pay for a next gen console.

Not much point in keeping current gen consoles if you are getting a next gen, because they are both BC.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Sure sleeping room console

 

[Gamernyc78]

FYI just some additional info or actually confirmation about thousands of ps4 games being ready on psv bc. People misconstrued what Cerny said and I know others were clearing it up but seemed like ppl still weren't clear. Yup psv will have bc for almost all or majority of ps4 games.

 

[ethomaz]

Yes. I never sell consoles.
But I will never use again... well maybe in 10 years to see if it working... I tried my SNES few years ago and it works fine.

 

[Jtibh]

Yes. I never sell consoles.
But I will never use again... well maybe in 10 years to see if it working... I tried my SNES few years ago and it works fine.

Today i dusted off my ps3 the first time so my daughter can olay the psone versiin of spyro on it.
Lucky me cuz thats all she wants for weeks thanks to youtube.
She finished the ps4 vesion but she cant get enough and she loves these ugly ass polygons

 

[waltyftmus Prime]

No, it will be snuggled up safely for future generations to enjoy.

 

[Skyr]

Nah I'll give it away or sell it on ebay. No point in keeping it with BC. I'll just assume all the sony exclusives will work with BC. If not..

 

[DouglasQuade]

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.

If it's even still around by that point...

 

[lachesis]

Depending on the quality of BC, obviously.
If BC is perfect +, then sure - I would take it out - but if not, it will sit next to the new console until I'm thru with the games.
Once I'm done with the games that I have on older console, I move it downstairs to retro gaming station, where it sits along with older siblings.
I try to keep it minimal on the main TV set up... just to the current ones.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Ill get rid of all 3 if my PS4s.
Selling or giving them away.

 

[chitzy]

The PS4 is such an ugly system I would be desperate to get rid of it if I owned one.

 

[Vindicator]

The FFVII Midgar theme and its music makes this a hard decision, but eventually PS4 has to make room.

 

[GymWolf]

no, usually gamestop make some good offer for next-gen console if you give them a current gen console.

 

[deriks]

So I sold my PS4... The guy offered me a good price and I kinda needed the money

 

[captainraincoat]

I always wanted the feeling of being in a hair salon with the ps4 but the bonus of keeping ps4 and ps5 together will be this hair salon will be at an airport.

 

[JLB]

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

Maybe not.

sex between brothers, what can go wrong?

 

[Sander Cohen]

I’ll try to trade it in for PS5. I mean, it’s BC, no point in keeping it.

 

[Consumer]

well duh... how else am I supposed to boost 3-player online multiplayer trophies for PS4 games? With my 2 PS4s??

 

[Shakka43]

PS5 will most likely play all PS4 exclusives so no I won't keep my PS4 on display.

My PS3 which I also still have connected to the TV will most likely get another year or so before shelve it in favor of the RCPS3 emulator.

 

[LOLCats]

nope, ps4 pro is loud as fuck. trading that thing in

 

[gamerforever]

My ps4 pro is so loud on a lot of games so will be happy to shift it and play them on my ps5.

 

[Moses85]

Sure, I kept all my consoles and my PS4Pro is also a 500million LE

 

[Pantz]

If there are some exclusives that are not backwards compatible on PS5, then yes. I could imagine them not supporting something like Driveclub.

If they got Driveclub and pretty much any other exclusive I'd want to play one day then I could kiss my PS4 goodbye.

 

[Mithos]

If I can play every single PS4 game I own on PS5, then NO I will not be keeping my PS4.

 

[AudioSlave92210]

My ps4 pro will go in my son ´s bedroom.
