Playstation 5 Release Date scheduled for 19th November 2020? (speculation based on accessory pre-order dates)

[bob100]

So browsing Amazon UK i've come across a PS5 Wall Mount By Floating Grip which is sold direct by Amazon UK - NOT a 3rd party seller

It is available for preorder and the release date is November 19, 2020

PS5 Wall Mount By Floating Grip - White (PS5)

Edit - Another Listing in Black

PS5 Wall Mount By Floating Grip - Black (PS5)

 

[Era Uma Vez]

Nah.
EDIT: I mean, the release date maybe that one, but that's not proof.

 

[Hey Please]

Presumably a placeholder.

 

[kambaybolongo]

November 19th would make sense but I wouldn't go by that amazon entry

 

[Sams]

Hmmmmmm. A Thursday?

 

[Hidden One]

Sony gonna drop the same day as Microsoft. They would be dumb not to.

 

[klauskpm]

Nope.

 

[Deleted member 864]

I can see it, but probably just a placeholder.

 

[ProstatePuncher]

Everything about this screams placeholder. We can't make a new thread every time this happens.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

My guess is the actual date is the Tuesday of that week, the 17th. However, until I see stuff on official PS5 stuff showing a date of some kind, then who knows. I doubt it's the 19th though being a Thursday.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

Oh my GOD that headline gave me a heart attack.

I think it will be 11/13

 

[Deleted member 20471]

Well, it wouldn't be strange if it's the correct date.

they didn't last time, they were staggered. i would expect them to be staggered again this year, especially if in store pick ups are going to be a thing.

ps4 - nov 15 (us)
xb1 - nov 22
ps4 - nov 29 (eu)

Nah, probably a week or two later.

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

Head start for MS

 

[salromano]

A bunch of PS5 accessories also appeared on Amazon Japan with a November 20th date:

 

[hydro94530]

I was expecting at least a rumor from a good source. Not this :-(

That date is for an accessory and doesn't mean anything. It could be coming out a week after launch, a week before, who knows.

Who's mounting their consoles to the wall??

 

[Goddo Hando]

wait a second, who mounts their console to a wall

edit: lol jinx at the poster above me

 

[Optmst]

WoW click bait titles on forums
This ain't wccftech

 

[Stinkinmushroom]

There are more and more rumors about 19th for PS5 in america and 'late 2020' in the rest of the world.

why?

 

[Rodrigues solitaire]

Wasn't there also an outlet saying that Sony had booked a lot of marketing space for the week beginning Nov 13?

Hahaha i thought this when i saw it on Amazon

 

[Brutalitops]

I'd say 20th with some accessories probably coming the day before

 

[Trigonometrize]

A wall mount listing? Really?

people that also mount their pcs to a wall

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I'm presuming the release date is pretty tightly controlled, just like the price.

Those placing a date on the release of an accessory from Amazon UK is not anyone at Amazon who may be privy to that release date.

 

[KartuneDX]

That topic title with the climate of the last 4 hours was totally intentional, c'mon

 

[Hidden One]

why?

Click to shrink...

Why not? They're the console Market Leader so they might as well drop the same day as Microsoft. Some people can't wait and may decide to just get an Xbox instead of waiting a week later for PS5.

It wasn't...i marked it as rumor (which doesn't seem to have worked) and I put it as a question

I don't think there has ever been 2 consoles releasing on the same date.

I'm sure people can wait a week to get the console they want....it's not as if it months difference, merely weeks

 

[RumbleHumble]

A Thursday over a week after the Xbox release seems pretty unlikely to me. I think it's in that ballpark, but I don't think we're going as far out as the 19th. Got to remember Black Friday is less than 10 days away from the 19th too.

 

[Punished Dan]

same people who mount their PVR's to the wall.
yes people do that, I see it first hand.

[Duxxy3]

I assumed it was the 13th or 20th.

It's certainly possible, but you've got to think Sony and Microsoft want these consoles on shelves for at least two weeks before the Black Friday bundles kick in.

 

[JoeNut]

more to the point, wtf is a wall mount for a console lmao.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Honestly? Tomorrow we will get a tweet for an event happening next week.

 

[Apathy]

Seems much too close to black Friday. They wouldn't be able to restock from selling out their launch stock

 

[Hanbei]

Hmmmmmm. A Thursday?

Click to shrink...

Right before the weekend. Kind of makes sense, does it not?

 

[bob100]

I vote you should preorder and let us know on the 19th November when you mount your PS5 :-p

 

[Ali]

Yep. COD launches on the 13th and they're not gonna miss the PS5 launch. And they released the PS4 on a Friday. 13th or 20th are the most likely dates.

I'm sure logistically they have everything all planned with daily shipments

they're usually at least a week apart

I think PS3 and Wii were the closest launches right? Had to camp out twice in the same weekend for both of them basically lol

Doubt there will be any deals on these consoles their first black Friday. PS4s were barely available in it's intitial black Friday and I remember X1 outselling it that weekend.

The PS4 launched a week after the One. Also it doesn't really matter since they will sell out either way (as long as it launches during the same "period").

The PS4 launched a week BEFORE XB1 (at least in North America). Seems likely that they will swap places this times.
