Playstation has decided to postpone the June 4th PS5 Event [was same day as George Floyd memorial service]

[Starphanluke]

It's the right move. I understand that America is not Sony's only audience, but they are correct in their assessment that now is not the time for any sort of celebration.

Good

 

[Deleted member 11370]

I think it's a sensible decision, though it was clear that ERA really wanted this to take place this week, based on yesterday's poll.

 

[NattyBo]

lmao at the jingoistic behavior in the other thread accusing people of being US centric for asking if important real world events would delay this.

 

[Flex1212]

What the fuck..

 

[Punished Dan]

Whoa.

Man, I wish I could find everyone who quoted me in that other thread and said "postponing would do nothing". The point is the USA is in complete and utter disarray. It's at 100. Sony wants to wait until it hits at least 60.

 

[Teamocil]

Good move. Not even gonna look at the comments underneath that post

 

[Deleted member 887]

Good on them. They can show this next week.

 

[Oticon]

Makes sense given the current events.

 

[Deleted member 6730]

Good.

 

[oliverandm]

The right decision. I was super excited so it's a bit of letdown though, but it's understandable.

 

[EJS]

It is disappointing but it's nice to see Sony is being proactive in spreading awareness.

 

[Greywaren]

Yes, this is the right thing to do.

 

[Convasse]

Expected and a good call.

 

[henhowc]

Noooooo...but I understand :[

 

[Deleted member 3294]

Yeah that's for the best, there are bigger things than video games that deserve attention going on right now.

 

[Dust]

Understandable, it seems escalating.

 

[sleepr]

So be it, I can wait a couple more weeks.

 

[Dr. Lucien Sanchez]

This is the right move.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Good on them.

 

[ExhaustedWalrus]

I really respect that decision.

 

[platocplx]

Yeah probably a smart thing as more people will have there eyes glued to what's happening outside than Sony's event. They can delay there feed till mid-June and repolish it up

and maybe they could have some people on site as well by then. I think its gonna be as early as next week or maybe latest June 18th.

 

[Jogi]

The right decision.

 

[AleeN634]

That sucks but understandable.

I'm sorry, but they have a point.

 

[Deleted member 16876]

That's good.

This will help awareness and make people understand that this is serious. Change needs to happen.

 

[Destroyer]

I can respect that.

 

[Dragon1893]

That's the right call. Well done.

 

[____]

Good stuff.

 

[maximumzero]

Props to Sony for being considerate.

 

[MillionIII]

Disappointing...
But I understand

 

[DarkChronic]

100% the right move, good on Sony.

 

[ABIC]

Bummed, but this move is the right one and big thumbs up to Sony.

 

[nizerifin]

Knowing the media cycle, we'll be on to the next thing next week. Sad. Good call on Sony's part.

 

[Rotobit]

Pretty commendable, especially after they spent the money on the TV ads

I guess when it comes down to it, a PlayStation announcement would be trending no matter when it drops, but what's happening across the US right now runs the risk of being purposefully ignored by media outlets and social media algorithms.

 

[Ojli]

Good call on them

 

[Phellps]

Seems they're waiting and seeing before committing to a new date.

 

[Deleted member 34873]

I'm okay with this.

 

[Geode]

Sony is gonna keep building that hype.

 

[darkwing]

don't look at the comments

 

[Rabalder.]

Really disappointing but 100% the right move. Way more important things happening in the world right now.

 

[JCal]

Even after airing TV ads? Wow, they did it!

 

[Nzyme32]

Good. More important things are going on and deserve the attention.

Having video game reveals can easily wait, rather than be tone deaf to the very people they are advertising too

 

[Doom_Bringer]

good on them. Time for America to make some serious changes

 

[Kwigo]

I was really looking forward to some fun news this week but obviously now is not the time for that.
Good move by Sony tbh

 

[Deleted member 39374]

Smart move, it's super tone deaf and ignorant to be talking about your new projects or products right now, whatever they are.

 

[JamRock7]

Well, yeah no date or anything... Maybe next week or something

Click to shrink...

things will definitely be peachy by next week! Im guessing way longer

 

[Chopin the Third]

That's fine, makes sense. Looking forward to whenever they decide to do it.
