The Sony console will launch in Christmas 2020 unless the coronavirus health crisis prevents it. It is unknown when it will be presented.
With a canceled E3 2020 and a lot of uncertainty ahead for the consequences that the coronavirus may have on the launching agenda of the video game industry in 2020, Sony still has not dated the official presentation of PS5 where we will finally see the console in detail along with its technological innovations. There are many studios excited about the possibilities of the DualSense, its new controller, but what other surprises does Sony have in store for its new PlayStation? The former Sony software engineer is clear: There are many secrets yet to be discovered.
"There are many things that have not been shown in the leaks"
Matt Hargett, who has previously worked as a Lead Software Engineer in the PlayStation department at Sony, knows some of the things that have not been publicly disclosed; those that go beyond the DualSense haptic feedback or that the speed of the PS5 SSD will be able to do data transfers of 5.5 GB per second (one hundred times the speed of the PS4 hard drive).
Many, many things haven’t been shown up in leaks. There are plenty of secrets that are being well kept 🙂

“There are many, many things that have not been shown in the leaks. There are many secrets that are being well kept, "he said. Despite the large amount of alleged information that appears every day on social networks and forums, many of them indicating the month of May as a possible framework for the presentation of both PS5 and Xbox Series X, neither Sony nor Microsoft have declared or hinted at anything respect.
What does not change is the commitment of both companies to launch their respective machines by the end of 2020, in any case, although the number of dispatched launch units is not as abundant as it could have been under normal conditions. But we are not in normal conditions.

The price and launch catalog of the new generation consoles are two of the main claims of a community that, in case of having to choose only one of them for launch, may end up declining the balance due to these factors.
