I hope to hear that PS5 and XsX will be postponed to 2021 because of the coronavirus impact

Lets prioritize health and safety. This is not the environment to launch a new console. The choice may not be theres in the end as the supply chains possibly can't handle the demand anyway.

It will be better for the wait anyway.

Even if they don't have to?

What risk does launching new consoles pose?

 

[Dest]

Yeah, sure. I don't have an issue with it and, in theory, it should only help bolster the launch lineup.

If it needs to be then sure.

If you are American, influenza is a bigger deal right now. I do think that Corona virus will cause at least a minor delay in next gen plans.

 

[modiz]

The production isnt starting until May anyway, how about we wait until we see what will be the situation by then?

 

[GrandeDp]

What is the exact risk that will happen if they do a launch? My hope is we figure this out ASAP so the world can move on.

 

[RF Switch]

This doesn't make sense

 

[Proven]

I don't think there will be any delays

 

[Potterson]

"This is not the right environment"? This will probably pass before July/August. Viruses like this one hate hot weather.

 

[Morrigan]

If you say so.

Only thing I'm hoping is that the virus is contained, for reasons much more important than gaming

If needed, they will delay them, its the right thing to do and I dont think we need to hope for platforms to make the best call in this regard
