Yep. I don't fully understand why people are so outraged by this.
They're not. Most people are focusing on getting their kids back to school or going back to school themselves. In two weeks people will be ready to hear about new phones, consoles, etc. Just like every year.
The people complaining were complaining about Sony's and Microsoft's (relative) silence in the midst of a pandemic level shutdown. They're not really rational.
I mean I'm getting tired of the speculation, I just want to know at this point. This seems plausible though.
I mean, we've already seen leaked pictures of Xbox Series X accessories in the channel with "DO NOT DISPLAY UNTIL 11/6" on the cartons.
So, yeah, Xbox is targeting the first week of November.
It doesn't make any sense to talk about the Series S until they talk about pricing, and both parties are holding off on talking about pricing.
I'd be very happy with those UK PS5 prices, very happy indeed.
What's your YT account? I will want video proof!

Previous generations we've had quite a lot of info for the months leading up to this, and we're 2 months away and Microsoft still havent shown their mystery cheaper box, and we have no idea what any of the launch software is going to be from either company.
People have financial commitments, they'll need to know every bit of info soon so they can try to budget for their new hardware and software.
And some of us need to buy an eye-wateringly expensive TV before the console too!
It doesn't really matter though. This generation launch is not like others and everyone should understand why.
We know the general idea of what the price will be. People can budget now.
The branding on the controllers is already out in the wild. This won't happen.
Not really sure why people are freaking out because of the lack of info. It really doesn't matter. We know they are coming and will be expensive. If anything, price and launch games will only convince people to drop their intention to buy at launch. I doubt anyone that wasn't planning on it anyway is going to be swayed by a high price and almost no games into suddenly ordering for launch. Yeah, people need to plan their budget, but they should already be doing that.
If the Xbox One launch is anything to go by, there'll be more than plenty to go around — I remember seeing those 'Day One' models (that I bought myself) on shop shelves the following summer!
It was the PlayStation 4 that was super difficult to get hold of for several months after launch.
Can you elaborate on why the 20th doesn't make sense? Because my initial thought when I saw this thread was XSX on Nov 6 and PS5 on Nov 20. It's still before Black Friday (and the real start of the holiday shopping season), which isn't even going to matter since it will sell out before launch.
Look at Hallo and all these games getting delayed. It's hard enough to launch 1 console during a pandemic let alone 2. Anything is possible.
Because this thread is about the release date, rather than the launch games...
Halo is still coming out though, they didn't can it. They'd have to pull and ET and bury those controllers in the desert. Or less dramatically, recall them all and rebox them. It's probably not gonna happen.
Microsoft had the next gen narrative by the balls at the start of the gate, but my oh my have they botched any good will they have worked for.
Halo delayed, 2 bad reveals, no real gameplay of their actual console playing games, leaked info about a cheaper console making the choice more muddied, losing the exclusive deals on games. 3rd parties showing ps5 versions of demos and software.
Like what are they doing right now?

Im hoping i can get a preorder in even though I feel they won't be sold out so fast. But at least my money is ready for next gen.
the consoles are already in production. delaying a piece of software is orders of magnitude less complicated than delaying or cancelling a physical electronics product
Is it a nice bridge because a lot of people think that's real.
I know everyone is like "when will these consoles release?!"
But come on, PS and Xbox release timing are always so predictable. Always a few weeks before holiday season begins, but not early Fall.
Most important aspect is still the pricing.

to be fair, it's pretty easy to turn the narrative around with one good showing.
I hope to god it's real (I've put aside £600 for each console - if I can get my digital PS5 for £349 then I've truly won) but I don't think it is.
For a start, I don't see a world where Miles Morales is $39.99 in the US and £29.99 in the UK. Sony first party games don't have that large of a gap between US/UK currencies. The norm for their games is $59.99/£54.99.
A similarly priced first party game like Predator Hunting Grounds, for example, is $39.99/£34.99. That's probably what you'd see. I appriciate that this is being pedantic over a fiver but it points to made up numbers. They're not losing that money on GBP sales for their big first party release. USD and GBP are far too close (thanks Brexit) to have some of these UK savings.
Maybe. I seem to remember when I worked retail accessories sometimes being put on the shelves early in order to draw hype for the launch day. Third party accessories for sure.
It will probably be within a week of the 6th, though, at worst.
Sure but do you also have sources to back it up? I think everyone expected this, but when backed up by sources it is a bit different.
I hope on xbox and playstation we can predownload the nex-tgen versions on a external har-drive (I think this is more likely on xbox). I just want to plug and play (correct me if I'm wrong, but transfers between drives is faster than downloading a copy online)
But doesn't the PS5 ship with a stand? (it notably wasn't on the pre-order list of accessories).
mark cerny already said you can do that from ps4 to ps5 on the technical deep dive.
If that is the case, good thing Sony confirmed. I hope Microsoft confirms soon
Thanks guys. I need to catch up on everything.
This is exactly what Epic hinted anyway with Joker bundle releasing on 17th that will be ready when next-gen consoles are out, so both will be out before that time.
Man it actually feels close now - 10 weeks (probably) until PS5. 10 weeks ago it was mid-June. Nice.
Meh
I'm treating it like a PC upgrade. I have an XB1X right now and would love to play them faster and prettier.
Yep, pretty much the same amount of time since the PS5 event.
Getting close now but I wish they would just take my money already.
