There is a new report that Sony is getting closer to launch as a report by Digitimes states the CPU for the PS5, which is a custom AMD Zen 2 processor, will be entering the final stages of the manufacturing process next week.
The report also says manufacturing should be running full-steam ahead by August as it should be entering large-scale manufacturing soon.

CPU, or APU?
It is on time. So what about the consoles melting down? Thrustworthy leakers have swear it.
Will we make it to 2021? At the rate things are going, a nuke, war with china or an asteroid will hit.
What sense would a staggered launch make? And Cyberpunk has been confirmed to only be launching on current gen at first.
Mass assembly of the PS4 and PS4 Pro happened around 12-14 weeks before release. Having the CPU's being produced double that time in advance makes sense. These industries are working according to Just in Time principle
But there is still a thing called demand.
I have no doubt they would have demand for 3-5M on the first 6 months, I was more talking on let's say they having 2 extra months of production versus Sony, if there isn't extra demand that won't mean much. But sure if they antecipate the launch that 2 months could help on it. But since there is no official confirmation of anything (and MS said holidays as well) we will have to wait and see.
