PS5 UK Site Changes Release Window from Holiday 2020 to Late 2020 - News

We are in September and are now two to three months away from the launch of the next-generation consoles, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and still don't know the launch date and price for either console.
Microsoft has confirmed the Xbox Series X will launch in November, however, there are some indications that the PS5 won't launch until possibly December.
The official PS5 UK site has changed the launch window from Holiday 2020 to Late 2020. The official PS5 US site still lists a Holiday 2020 release window.
The change on the UK site could mean nothing or it could mean Sony is looking to do a staggered release of the PS5 with it launching first in North America in November and Europe in December.
The PlayStation 4 did get a staggered release with it launching on North America on November 15, 2013, followed by a release in Europe two weeks later on November 29. It didn't get a release in Japan until February 22, 2014.
The PlayStation 3 launched much later in Europe than it did in Japan and North America. With it launching in Japan and North America in November 2006 and in Europe in March 2007.

Don't know. I really think that Holiday 2020 or late 2020 is pretty much the same... November 2020 is pretty late in the year.
I really think they is nothing to worry about :)
Nice way to treat your number one market, hope you are boycotted.
You might wait until there's actually a delay before getting pissed.
Wasn't planning on getting one, merely thinking of others.
Strange way of expressing sympathy, but the move seem entirely normal as "Holiday Season" is marketing slogan premised upon American holiday of Thanksgiving which isn't relevant to the UK so why should game console be marketed in reference to foreign holiday?
Maybe it's just a gesture to stop using imported American phrases.
yeah late 2020 and holiday 2020 are the same haha!
