Do Swedish people have an expression for Late 2020, or is just common to refer it as Christmas?So looking at the Swedish Playstation 5 page, it actually says "Releasing Christmas 2020". SO this could be true?
(Julen = christmas, not holidays or anything that general)

Because in other websites it's "late 2020".
You could consider November 1st the beginning of the holiday season
This is clearly just referring to the game. It does not say anything about the console releasing.
I reckon so.
Holiday in the US is november but when you say holiday in europe everyone thinks christmas.
This is getting overlooked in this thread.

https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/ - American English site - Launches holiday 2020
'The holidays' doesn't have much play elsewhere.
They're just using equivalent vague terms that will be understood.
ACTIVISION says PS5 VERSION OF CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS is releasing holiday 2020 in the US/Canada, late 2020 in the rest of the world
There, fixed it your title.

They did what now? They only launched in only 13 countries in 2013, missing Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and oh right, all of Asia. Unless "all major regions" means "where I live and fuck everyone else".
Stuff like this happens when you don´t give any infos on the release date, now we have game publishers causing a stir about potential release plans for the PS5...
Associating holiday with christmas only in Europe is also a reach. It's definitely not universal in Europe. Holiday can mean numerous different dates during the year, like school holiday, public holiday. You just can't really universally market that PS5 is releasing Holiday 2020 in Europe, and that's almost certainly the reason for this kind of wording.
Why start doing this now? You'd think people would have noticed this in previous years as we'd have ended up with similar threads. The fact this is apparently a new thing points in the other direction of the dates being different.
North America, Europe and Australia make up the bulk of the Xbox audience by far. I had no idea that a number of European countries were left out at launch and wrongly assumed that it was an almost pan-European launch. As for Asia, it is a major gaming region but will never be a major Xbox region.
I honestly don't get it. Why is the thread still open? Or at least, why hasn't the title/OP changed? Is this some kind of simulation designed to test us?
Yeah it doesn't mention the console release anywhere, it's just the PS5 version of the game.
What launch games do we know about yet ? That are next gen only that is ? Rachet coming out launch window better suits a staggered console launch
Yeah, came to post this.
Either that or PS5 launching before Series X?
This is totally incorrect. XB1 launched over 9 months later after the initial launch in where I live (Europe). It was originally promised that it would launch simultaneously in 21 countries, but only managed 13 in the end and missed the whole Asia. PS4 was launched in 30 countries at the time of XB1's initial launch. US & UK isn't the whole world. There's 741 million people in Europe whilst US's population is not even half of that and UK's is 66 million.
Technically, January 1st 2020 is a Public Holiday in a lot of countries.

Idk about that one too.
I reported the title twice minutes after posting the OP.
One for the Holiday spelling and another to add "version of the game" to the title.
They did the first one, never got to the second.
But, tbh, this thread is much more entertaining with the title like that.
Would be surprised if both launches are not very close together or on the same date.
This is likely just a regional thing. "Holidays" is a North American thing.
