[alp]

With a few reports from the industry claiming that the chip shortages that has already affected computers, consoles and now spreading to auto and other industries that require chips, might extend well into 2023, how is your gaming habits fairing?

PS: If more than one answer applies, please choose the one you spend more of your time on or feel closer to.

Own up people, who was the one for voted for "I am not a gamer"...?

I am not an early adopter of new consoles generally, so the chip shortages haven't affected me *yet*.

However, if it did continue into next year, I can imagine it would start to have a much bigger impact on console buyers generally.

I'd love to upgrade my GPU so I can play my current games with better visuals and at a higher frame rate, but with the games I'm currently playing, I don't need more powerful hardware thankfully.

Very happy with my Xbox One X. Does everything I need it to, plays all the games I want it to, will continue supporting the games I want to play for what appears to be at least the next year.

I do want a Series X, but not before there's some genuine console exclusives/games that I can't get on the One X. Something this console generation has sorely lacked. It kind of baffles me that the new consoles have sold so well (allegedly) when on the surface there didn't seem to be much point in way of exclusive next gen titles.

Still happy with my PS4. I am in no hurry to upgrade.

I have PS5.
So I am okay there.

I also have Ryzen 5 3600, with RTX 2060.

So I do both.

In Soviet Russia you could sold you 3 year old GPU for 30% more than it cost when it was new and buy new console(XSX/PS5 with BRD) from scalper
We live in strange times.

I have a PS5 and that is my main system currently. I'm waiting for a graphics card to become available.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I switched to PC in 2020 before all the chip shortages started happening and I'm still happy with my RTX 2060.

Waiting for a GPU before I can jump into ACC. Been trying to get one for 8 months.

My vote:

Yes, I'm sticking to games my hardware can handle until I can upgrade. No purchase of newest titles.

I got a Ryzen 9 with RTX 3070 late last year and am happy with it, seems it was good timing - though I wasn't able to get faster RAM at the time, and it's only cost that hold me off looking to upgrade at the moment. I'm holding off buying a PS5 until GT7, I will be frustrated if supply shortages affect that.

 

[TS050]

Was able to get a PS5 a couple days after launch, things are still good.

Hopefully the shortage doesn’t last too long so things can get back to normal for the rest of the market

Until something changes my mind, I think I've gone back to Nintendo + PC, and I am set for now on both.

I got a PS5 I paid a little bit more than I wanted to but it is what it is. I am happy with I have been able to get the games I wanted.
