Incredibly enthusiastic PlayStation 5 fans went nuts waiting for a PS5 price and a PS5 release date yesterday that never came. Social networking sites like Twitter and communities on Reddit were full of speculation after Amazon Australia uploaded some product listings, which many took as an indication of an impending announcement.
The furor intensified when an alleged “expert” named Robert Serrano mentioned that Sony would casually release key pre-order information for PS5 on July 13. His cryptic track was picked up by a handful of PlayStation websites, creating a frenzy among fans. We investigated the story yesterday, and couldn’t find any basis for the reports.
We actually don’t expect the Japanese giant to date and the price of its next-gen console until at least after Microsoft’s event later in the month. While the talk of a “chicken” game taking place between the two industry giants seems a bit far-fetched, there are definitely strategic advantages Sony can take advantage of by waiting. Everything will be revealed in due course, but just like Take That, you will need patience.
