Have you already got hold of the new consoles / new hardware?

Whether PS5, Xbox Series X or the new graphics cards from NVIDIA and / or ATI.

Availability is very poor everywhere and there's no improvement in sight.
Replenishment is only available for a few seconds.

Have you already got hold of the hardware of your choice or are you still looking?

No I do not need it

I think the Nintendo Switch is hard to get, but I got it in 2018

That's right, I recently read that switch stocks are slowly reaching their limits and that is where the shortage also begins.

I was able to get hold of an RTX 3070 FE at the RRP of 499 euro at the end of last year.

Got a PS5 at the last official Amazon sale. 😃

My PS4 was a bit borderline in terms of condition.
I unintentionally tore out a connector from the drive that was soldered to the circuit board and fixed it with super glue. 🤣
Probably won't last forever, which leads to more serious problems as one believes = Main updates are no longer possible, but this is absolutely necessary for multiplayer games. (Drive is checked if this works)
The volume of the PS4 was also very high in some games, which could not be remedied by removing dust in the fan room.

So to be on the safe side and because the PS5 is much faster and more fps and a higher resolution is possible in some PS4 games and because I would have bought it anyway, because it is of course only a matter of time before PS5 games become standard compared to PS4, I just kept an eye on Amazon and believed the "rumors" / assumptions that you hear about google.

If you have a PS4 that you are happy with, you can still wait with the PS5. Everything feels like it's still in its infancy at the moment.
As a pure PC gamer, consoles are not very recommendable anyway, but everyone has to know for themselves of course.

Nice survey, as there are meaningful answer options. Unfortunately, you rarely see that here.

I'm considering assembling a new computer because my current CPU can no longer keep up. Accordingly, a new graphics card is needed, so I'm not really satisfied with the offer at the moment and will therefore still wait. I also assume that the manufacturers will soon produce more, so that demand will then decrease again (hopefully).

Was able to get hold of an RTX 3080 at the beginning of the year - for RRP.

Regarding new consoles: Because of the PC, an Xbox is almost completely uninteresting.

A PS5 is still not worth it - too expensive, too few exclusive titles and possible problems will be fixed with later revisions.

Should a new, stronger switch be released, I could consider an Ugprade - but something would have to be announced first

Mmm

Why should an Xbox be completely uninteresting?

According to your logic, the Playstation 5 is then completely uninteresting.

because thanks to Play Anywhere most of it is also available there for the PC

So far it has been - but if there are "real" exclusive titles that interest me, that will change

There are real exclusive titles, my dear.

Inform yourself.

Halo 5, for example, is purely Xbox Exclusive!

Sony's Playstation 5 titles are almost all only time exclusive and then appear on the PC.

In addition, the Playstation Now games can also be played on the Xbox

It's called The Last Of Us, Uncharted and many more on my Xbox Series X in weak Playstation 4/5 graphics

Well then. Do I have to see - especially what interests me?

It is this "almost". Greetings from Bloodborne e.g.

Nice. But I don't want to stream and have to pay for it every month
