Europe, and probably a PS5 at some point. Xbox is not really an option due to lack of games that interest me and because MS still has a long way to go before gaining enough trust trust from me to actually be willing to support them. I actually prefer Xbox Series X as a product, largely because of its excellent backwards compatibility (which in the case of Xbox is almost completely useless to me, but I really do appreciate it).
That said, I'm in no hurry to get a PS5. The controller looks horrible, the console looks just OK but not good, it lacks a sufficient amount of backwards compatibility, and it'll probably take at least a year or two before it has enough interesting games to warrant buying it. Also, my price point for a new console is more along the lines of 300-350 euros - for a console that supports physical games. So yeah, it ought to be a while. Unless a really, really tempting exclusive comes out, I'll probably wait until a slim model.
I'm waiting to get a PS5 until 2022 or 2023. Worst case scenario, probably in 2024.
I just got a PS4 in 2019, and it's a Pro at that. I also have a Switch. There's no games or features to draw me to the new consoles yet considering their price points (which are fantastic given the tech crammed into them).
I've got enough to play on my PS4 and Switch for a while, and even the occasional titles from older hardware as well.

Right now I'm just planning on sticking with my Switch and nothing else. I'm from the US.
Obviously, if one of these systems announces several games that I like, then my viewpoint can change. However, so far I've owned every single Sony home system and I've never owned a Microsoft system. So, that should tell you which system I'm more likely to buy if I do change my mind.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

My Bet With Metallox
I plan on the PS5 as of now. Will be watching the market closer to launch. Right now the PS5 has me far more impressed and excited with it's games and features. The speeds, dual sense, 3D audio. Definitely leaning more to that.
