It wouldn’t make sense for the console to be available a different day than the charging set and headset, and previous rumors and leaks have also pinned the PS5 release between November 17 and 20. While this could be disappointing news for people who plan to buy the PS5 instead of the Xbox Series S or X and will have to wait longer, reportedly Sony is taking marketing cues from Microsoft and may even slash PS5 prices in response to the Xbox Series X.
Those who bought the Xbox One or PS4 when the consoles released may remember that Microsoft’s product launched second, while it seems to be the other way around now. Of course, given how hush-hush Sony is being about everything, a lot of info is purely speculation right now, although when multiple sources are saying similar things, these next-gen console leaks may have more credibility.
