Sony Provide Huge Update on PlayStation 5 Schedule
Follow Us
Sony has everyone twiddling their thumbs, waiting for updates on their next-gen console, PlayStation 5. The reports flying around the console’s launch have not offered the most optimistic perspective up until this point. Initial ears of a delay in launch due to the COVID-19 pandemic were quickly allayed by the tech giants. However, soon came reports stating Sony planned on making alterations to their usual launch plans.
The Bloomberg report claimed insiders had admitted the company could tone down the number of units produced in its first quarter. The reason behind this was logical; certain hardware components were proving difficult and costly to acquire. Sony believed a higher launch price could result in sales taking a hit in the initial phase of the roll-out. But then again, these are all reports and we won’t truly know what gives until the price is actually announced.
Today, though, we finally get some official word on the PlayStation 5.
