Why EU has to wait one more week for PS5 ?
- Thread starter starblue
- Start date
Be reassured. The people who have pre-orderer at the fnac in " relais colis " have the delivery auto modified by the fnac for a home delivery if the " relais colis " is closed.. If the fnac need to closed and the shop pick up close too, the fnac will send the console at your home :)
Im not using relais colis. Fnac pick up. Shop. But hopefully it's gonna be ok
actually I have 1 serie x and 1 ps5 on both Fnac and amazon. My friend and myself. Obviously he's gonna get the Fnac one 😅
Logistical and regulatory reasons maybe.
That said, with the recent lockdowns happening that's about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Are these rumors serious, or your personal take.
My heart... You know
So that PSN dosen't crash is my guess though Sony are taking a bit of a gamble on this, they will sell more but Sony are giving Microsoft 9 Free days in Europe...that's may be a bit of a bad idea.
Logistics and COVID are things. If in the next week more countries in EU go into lockdown, can see them moving the date for distribution reasons similar to what Square Enix did with FF7Remake.

No, its probably a logistics issue. Customs are they same for all 27 member states, thats the whole point :D
Maybe they weren't sure they could get the consoles where they needed to be and just pushed the launch back a week. I remember they said in the beginning of the year that they wanted to do a global launch. Covid sucks
Oh, then I obviously missed it. Was it again between 3 and 6 in the morning?
I didn't even receive an alarm/notification, so I thought that the PS5 would still not be available at all at Amazon.de, Mediamarkt and Co.
Those consoles won't all go on at the same. Plus a substantial number of early adopters are PS4 owners so it won't be their current average load of PS4s+new PS5s. There will be less PS4s on as those early adopters jump on their new toys.
It's almost like we're in pandemic times and European country logistics pose a greater challenge due to Europe having many countries with different laws, distribution routes and whatnot. One week later? Get outta here!
It's entirely personal op. Sony just don't like you much so they're making everyone wait to make you suffer one more week.
I mean there is a pandemic on in case you've forgotten? so I imagine it's entirely down to supplies, deliveries etc. Logistics
I believe this is the answer. Can't delay in US as it's the most contested. Won't delay in home territory (Japan) if at all possible as it just looks bad. Sony knows most of the EU will not go anywhere else no matter what they do so why not delay there to take some of the pressure off.
I do wonder if stores in the EU will just send their stock/sell in stores as soon as they get it in, provided it's after the 12th. I mean would Sony really care?
I half expect to receive my pre-order sooner than the 19th, not by much, but maybe a day or two.

Not read all the comments, but logistically there are serious problems with shipping etc at the moment. It is affecting everything and essential goods are getting priority over all other imports. This is probably a key factor and I fully expect low shipping numbers in the UK for a wee while.
Although I hope they pickup in late November to early December in time for Xmas.

I'm quite sure Europe is a larger market for PlayStation than North America.
It's the largest video game market as a whole even if Europe sold a couple million more PS4's.
Japan isn't their home territory anymore, and the PS4 came 3 months late there anyway
First, Wikipedia still says their HQ is in Tokyo. Maybe that's wrong?
Secondly, maybe they feel like they need to give Japan more attention since the Switch's lifetime sales overtook PS4s last year. Maybe they feel like making that territory second-fiddle last time played some part in that state of affairs. I don't think it did but they might not want to take chances. How does Switch vs. PS4 stack up in EU?
Sony Corp is HQ'd in Tokyo, but Sony is a massive conglomerate who owns many different companies.
Sony Interactive Entertainment, the company that owns PlayStation is HQ'd in California. So the PlayStation "home territory" is actually North America.
My 3 week ban is up, and I would like to apologise for my "joke" that resulted in my ban. It was never meant to offend anyone, and I would like to apologise to anyone that I DID offend.
I guess sometimes my humour can be an acquired taste, or quite simply that of poor taste so I hope to work on this aspect on public forums.
Again, sorry for any offence.
