PS5 Release Date Shouldn't be Affected by Coronavirus - console|
| (hx) 10:21 PM CET - Mar,28 2020 | As the coronavirus pandemic has continued to get worse and worse over the past few weeks and months, many (myself included) have started to wonder if the slow it has caused in workplaces worldwide would end up affecting this year’s most notable video game event: the release of the next-gen platforms in the PS5 and Xbox Series X. In the case of Sony specifically and the release of the PS5, this ongoing virus isn’t said to be something that the console manufacturer expects to impact the launch of the platform later on in 2020. Seen in a new report from Bloomberg, a representative from Sony went officially on the record and said that it doesn’t expect the coronavirus epidemic will have an impact on the launch plans for the system later this year. This is definitely a sigh of relief for many PlayStation fans who may have been worried that the console’s arrival could somehow have been affected by this virus.
In the interim, though, Sony has admitted that COVD-19 will likely impact its previously-expected increase in profits and might also delay an earnings report that was set to release in April. Just a few months back, Sony raised its financial forecast through the end of this current fiscal year. Now, it seems somewhat likely that those new forecasts will not be met as a result of everything that has transpired in recent weeks. This isn’t too surprising whatsoever and many other tech companies around the globe are surely in similar situations.
The PS5 is set to release later this year in the Holiday 2020 window at a still undetermined date and price. We should hopefully start to hear more of these details in the coming months, so stay tuned.

There’s no airlines, no infrastructure to move computer components about. Factories are closed workers are losing jobs. The price of everything is going down the toilet. To think that people will have priorities on a console over getting some semblance to life, not to mention the fact that vacations are all cancelled, certainly this side of Christmas. When this console ships it will be next year and it won’t be worth zero. Same for everything. People in the UK for a start have a 3 month mortgage ‘holiday’. Renters are protected for 6 months. Everyone will be in debt. Nice one Sony.. :roll: |
