StaceyPowers Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I just learned that Microsoft and Sony aren’t going to GDC 2020 because of fears of coronavirus (they are doing digital panels instead). It’s hard for me to imagine that the disruptions from the virus aren’t going to impact manufacturing for the next gen consoles. So far as I know, neither company has said it expects a delay in the release schedule, but I don’t know if that is realistic or not. What do you think? Do you think we will still get the PS5 and Xbox Series X during the holiday 2020 release window, or do you think either or both might be delayed?

kingpotato Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hard to say, dont know if there would be any delay or maybe a shortage on consoles on release day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It’ll be delayed to at least spring of 2021. People are losing their minds over the coronavirus. There’s no way the initial release date is plausible anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyPastaTho Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Have no idea. It's possible that it will, then again it's possible it won't just because of this virus that's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Coronavirus aside, when was the last time a major console was released on time? Even SNES missed its release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Considering corona virus and the issues with the imports and also various other possibilities on the safety side. I think releases would be unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaucyPastaTho Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 At this point it looks like both consoles will be released on time. What with chinese manafactures of cars and other production floors opening up because china is 80% virus free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I think consoles will be released on time. Home delivery and amazon delivery would be in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yes, it is kind of pointless to even speculate. I think we have to wait till this slows down on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyPastaTho Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 They even said they have no plans on slowing down or changing the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I think delay in games and something like that is expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
