The Microsoft console does not change its plans and will launch, if there are no problems with the COVID-19, on the dates close to the American vacation.
A message posted by Microsoft India about the Xbox Series X a few minutes after the technical specifications for the PS5 architecture were unveiled set off all the alarms: the console already had a release date, Thanksgiving Day. The message began to spread at full speed, because that day was none other than November 26. According to Larry Hryb, a member of the Xbox marketing team, it was a mistake.
An error with the official image included: Xbox Series X "Coming Thanksgiving 2020"
The most striking thing about the message, which has been removed from the official Xbox India source, is that it included an image where you could read "Coming Thanksgiving 2020". In this case, two possible scenarios are opened: the first, that the Xbox India communication team actually received the wrong information and issued that message based on that error; the second, that Xbox Series X does intend to launch on November 26, but that Microsoft does not have plans to unveil it for whatever reason.
An Xbox product page in some regions inaccurately listed the launch date for Xbox Series X as Thanksgiving 2020. We are committed to launching Holiday 2020

In any case, the information is clear: Xbox Series X is still planned for Christmas 2020, a very wide launch window that covers from the end of November to practically the entire month of December.

"An Xbox product page inaccurately listed the launch date of Xbox Series X for Thanksgiving 2020 in some regions. We remain committed to launching it on Christmas 2020," Hryb said very quickly after seeing the post's stir. .
