According to the Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki, the PlayStation 5 will not be launched in the next 12 months. Mochizuki, who broke the internet by revealing the information on Twitter today, has a considerable track record in scrupulously covering on the future plans of Japanese companies who operate within the video game industry.
It gets more interesting as Mochizuki was the one who confirmed that Sony was directing their most majority of 31.1 billion Japanese Yen (£215, 771, 880) into the development of the PS5.
The disclose that Sony will not launch the next PlayStation for the next 12 months is actually coherent with all the latest PS5 release date official information and all the leaks and rumors.
Mark Cerny, the PS5 developer confirmed that the next console would not be revealed in 2019. A few weeks back a PS5 leak also stated that the next PlayStation will be ready for release in 2020, which was compatible with and April 2018 leak which also claimed that PS5 will launch next year. However, this isn’t saying anything about the rumor from January this year which envisioned that both the PS5 and Xbox Two would compete at E3 2020.
In conclusion, Mochizuki’s reveal is narrowing down the PS5 release date more so. If the console will not be released over the next 12 months, it means that it will be announced and then released from May 2020 forward.
Sony is now sneaking out of E3 2019 this year as it momentary wants to ‘crouch down’ in order to ‘jump higher in the future’ and it is clear that it is utilizing this time to really make the PS5 a true next Xbox killer.
The Japanese creator hasn’t made any statements regarding the absence of E3 2020. The chances of a conquering PS5 reveal at next year’s event in June it feels not just probable but more and more possible.
