Sony<\/strong> has made some remarkable promises with their upcoming PlayStation 5<\/a><\/strong> and consumers are intrigued, to say the least. The PS5<\/strong> was announced in 2019 and was scheduled to release in Summer 2020. However, that all changed when the COVID-19<\/strong> pandemic caused industries around the world to close immediately. Obviously, that affected Sony<\/strong> as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago, Sony<\/strong> released a statement that they would be postponing the PS5<\/strong> event, that was scheduled on 4th June. Obviously, this came as a massive disappointment to consumers. Right now, there are protests and riots being held in the United States and Canada over racial discrimination. According to Sony<\/strong>, they couldn’t host an event amidst this. George Floyd’s<\/strong><\/a> murder has shaken the entire world, and perhaps, Sony<\/strong> made a wise decision not to host their PS5<\/strong> event during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
