- The PS5 price might be higher than what gamers have been expecting, and Sony will reportedly not have enough PlayStation 5 inventory on hand at launch so shortages may be widespread.
- The new PlayStation’s release date is still a secret, but Sony plans to launch the console this holiday season. A delay is still possible and Sony might postpone the PS5 if Microsoft does the same thing with the Xbox Series X.
- It’s unclear when Sony will reveal its new PS5 design, as the report says the only reason the DualSense controller was unveiled was to prevent leaks.

The novel coronavirus pandemic may cause some severe disruptions when it comes to the launches of some of this year’s most hotly anticipated products. The list doesn’t include only Apple’s iPhone 12 series, but also the next-gen video game consoles expected to hit stores during the holiday season. Microsoft said recently that it had no reason to expect an Xbox Series X delay, but that could still happen. Things are in flux and the COVID-19 crisis might still hurt consoles this year.
Microsoft hasn’t revealed an actual launch date or pricing information for the new Xbox Series X, and we have no idea when these critical announcements will come. Sony has announced even fewer things about its new console than Microsoft. The PS5 design hasn’t been revealed and the company might not even be able to hold a press event for the console, a new report says. The new PlayStation is still supposed to be released this year, but it could be more expensive than initially believed. On top of that, initial stock might be much lower than expected and shortages could hamper the device’s release.
