Sony is hard at work getting its next-generation console, the PlayStation 5, ready for launch this holiday season. The launch window will have the best line-up in the history of PlayStation, according to PlayStation’s head of global marketing Eric Lempel speaking with GamesIndustry in an interview.
"Once you get beyond all of the features of the PlayStation 5, which makes it a true next-generation product, It's about the content," Lempel said. "The content that will be in the launch window and beyond is incredibly exciting.
"I would say that this is the best line-up that we've ever seen in the history of PlayStation, between our Worldwide Studios groups and our partners from all the different publishers around the world. We've revealed some of that content, and naturally, there will be more to come, but the way that the developers can engage with this platform, and create these new experiences with known IP as well as unknown IP, is incredibly exciting."
Lempel in the same interview said it has been a "massive challenge on every front" getting the PS5 ready for launch due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The PlayStation 5 will launch in Holiday 2020.

Didn't Microsoft said the same thing?
Microsoft said the same thing. But Sony does have a more proven track record so I’m hyped.
Head of Global Marketing - Of course he’ll say that. But we have to see for ourselves.
I feel like this has been said about every console launch by every company in the history of gaming.
He wouldn't say otherwise, waiting for them to show the rest. But well PS3 and PS4 didn't had that many noteworthy titles so it wouldn't be that hard to do better.
I liked Knack and KZSF, but that isn't really a strong launch when we consider most people didn't buy or cared about them.
Well launch window would also include Infamous Second Son
Everytime somebody says this I always go back and check what were the launch titles from their previous consoles. So I went back and checked every Playstation console launch games and I will say this.....personally, I say this is true with the PS5. Having Spiderman and Demons Souls at launch is enough for me/got me more hyped then any other Playstation launch title in the past. Heck, I even wanted to buy a PS5 at launch if my budget wasn't holding me back, whereas all previous Playstation consoles I always waited a few years because their launch games never appealed to me.
If Demon's Souls Remastered is a launch title, then I would be inclined to agree.
No way. Without a Ridge Racer, for me, that's impossible.
Sure. We have a lot of content in the launch window AND BEYOND. Current state is: there are no release dates for GT7 and the other big games. And not even a price or date for the console – 3 months before black friday.
Ok Eric, we don't need another Phil
Well best line up is really a personal choice in taste, for me the late 90s to early 20s still feels like it had the best launch window games. Perhaps because all we really had since then is just steady minor upgrades in graphics with similar games but on a bigger scale.
Now if that Unreal Engine 5 demo that we saw somehow transpires to the significant improved level of interaction (i.e. the physics system of the environment, spacial sound, dynamic body position, dynamic illumination etc) for launch games, I think that will make games feel fresh again as it will be a significant jump (for me anyway) where I feel like something new adds to the experience of the game. Atm I haven't set my bar too high so I won't be too disappointing in case that demo was a glorified sales pitch, BUT if it wasn't, it feels like I am a kid again and exciting times ahead.
I won't believe it until we actually see the launch lineup. I only this as talking out of your ass.
hopefully most of those launch title stick the landing,
unlike halo infinite,
other than that it doesnt look that big,
if gt7 and demonz have been confirmed thats fcken huge opening!
But this time is probably going to be true.
