I'd say there are definitely cases where remakes are justified. While the RE 2 and 3 remakes missed some opportunities, it offered people a fresh, modern way in which to experience those stories.

I'd also like to see more remakes of games that had good ideas, but were let down by the overall gameplay (looking at you, Silent Hill 4). Of course, the fact that these were generally less successful the first time round makes them a harder sell, which is a shame.

I'm pretty much exclusively a console gamer, and I've not yet been able to justify upgrading from my Xbox One. The RE4 and Dead Space remakes are the first games where I genuinely feel like I might be missing out on something, and I can't justify buying a whole new machine just for those.

I'm curious on this. Currently looking to get a PS5 next year, as I haven’t owned a Sony console since PS2 and have various last-gen exclusives I'd like to try out. As it is, I don't see enough from either Microsoft or Sony to justify upgrading from their previous respective consoles.

Ballistics.

Personally I'd be going for the Xbox One and buying a PS5 down the line. It sounds like there's quite a few exclusives you've missed out on, and - while others are welcome to disagree - I haven’t seen enough quality games available for current gen consoles to worry about getting one any time soon. I'd spend some time catching up on older games, then go for a PS5 when they're more readily available and (hopefully) a mite cheaper.

I got a Switch in June after a few years with my Xbox One. Both get used regularly; the Xbox for anything multiplatform and the Switch for Nintendo exclusives or anything I might want to jump into on the go.

If you're after portability or good options for local multiplayer, Switch is a solid investment.
