Sony: PlayStation 5 is not coming in the next 12 months

[Rodjer]

November 2020 then.

 

[RedbullCola]

Christmas 2020. You don't launch mid year.

 

[Makeno]

So, the end of 2020? Nice.

 

[modiz]

Fall 2020 it is then.

 

[Bundy]

September/October 2020. Just as expected by me :)

 

[Musubi]

I mean one would expect November to capitalize on the Holiday rush.

 

[Fart Master]

No shit

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

It was always going to be next year. I don't know why anyone would think different.

 

[SMD]

The only way it was ever going to be March is if Sony either felt like the PS4 was going to die on its arse or were worried about shipping at Christmas.

Or for Europe 😑

some people speculated early 2020 e.g. March.

 

[TheRaidenPT]

That makes a lot of sense then, let's just see if Microsoft will launch first in march then

 

[modiz]

Fall 2020 launch means that they will have to go against both the next gen xbox consoles and have less ads because of the US Elections, hopefully they will have some great launch games to combat that.

 

[Mediking]

Heck, push it to 2022. Nobody would cry. This gen can last longer

The argument was whether it would launch in March 2020 or Fall 2020, Mark Cerny already confirmed it wasn't launching this year.

 

[Theorry]

As expected.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I was expecting an autumn 2020 launch for both of them.

 

[Strings]

Going to be really interesting to see if Microsoft capitalizes on this and tries to push their 360 head start again. Obviously not a whole year, but even six months is pretty significant.

People were thinking about March 2020

 

[Deleted member 16876]

Well I wasn't in a hurry for a new console so that's fine by me. Take your time.

Doubt it. Even more when Anaconda aims to be more powerful.

 

[Kwigo]

Buying a new gaming laptop was a really good idea then.

 

[Umbrella Carp]

This suits me alright. My Pro is a little under a year old still, I'd like to get a bit more mileage out of it if possible.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

That's oddly specific.

 

[TripaSeca]

I'm fine with that.

 

[Masagiwa]

That's oddly specific.

Covering the entire fiscal.

Problem is, doing this they run the risk of losing the hardware performance advantage, which evidently they really don't want to lose.

November 2020 then.

This is Mochizuki's interpretation of the financial documents (which is likely correct and I agree), not an official confirmation from Sony.

 

[ZhugeEX]

They mean this fiscal year. Which ends March 31st 2020. So technically 11 months.

It was on the conference call.

 

[Kolx]

The other information in the tweet is more interesting tbh. I believe this's the first time that we're getting numbers for PS Now.

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

Will all the remaining big 3 would be released before PS5 launch?

Oh, that explains it.

 

[JeffDunhamsPeanut]

Wonder if #Team2019 will still say it's coming this year

 

[henhowc]

Sony no longer letting you team2019 peeps dream

 

[Maquiladora]

Fall 2020 I guess.

 

[nelsonroyale]

longer to save up.

 

[KingdomKey]

I'd like to think they're targeting to launch it before Christmas next year.

I'm all for upgrading to the next gen asap.

Did you actually hear that? Because I've been listening, and I did not.

That tweet was posted about 8 minutes before the conference call started, so I guess they may have told him directly.

 

[Quintus]

November 2020 it is then!

 

[AppleKid]

E3 PS5 shadow drop confirmed! Time to relive the glory of that first expo's surprise console release that panned out so well

Announced during the Xbox briefing!

 

[Acquiescence]

So it's out May next year then. Gotcha.

 

[SageShinigami]

Spring 2020 was a possibility, but this generation's launch was so successful I'm not sure why you'd deviate except to fix things which went wrong last time around. Nov. 2020 was always the most logical step.

 

[Fatmanp]

It was always going to be fall 2020. New consoles need third party support and the most prolific third party support comes in the last quarter with annualised franchises from the big publishers. Nintendo were able to have a March launch as they never have traditionally strong third party support on the level of a MS/Sony.

 

[tomofthepops]

It could come out in may ?

anaconda is actually the PS5 while lockheart is Xbox 4. PS and Xbox are teaming together to take on Google.

No they just mean it's not coming out in 2019 fiscal year where it ends March 2020.so technically 11 months .which pretty much means November 2020

 

[Kaguya]

Some 2019 hopefuls thought "if it's not 2019, surely it's early 2020!".

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Click to shrink...

Sure because it's a new fiscal year but at that point you better off starting the gen in November to bank in with the holidays.

 

[BubblegumNemesis]

End 2020 as expected. Same for MS.
