Earlier this week, we reported analyst predictions<\/a> regarding the possible delay of the next-gen consoles.<\/p>\n

DFC Intelligence, a market research firm focused on interactive industry, released a forecast, where they predicted there’s a very high chance both the PS5 and Xbox Series X will miss the planned Holiday 2020 release window and be delayed until 2021. Almost immediately after, both Microsft and Sony held their back-to-back “deep dive” presentations, where we finally had a chance to see specs in detail for Xbox Series X<\/a> and PlayStation 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, Microsoft launched the official Xbox Series X site<\/a>. Once again, “Holiday 2020” is reaffirmed as the release window, but for a short period, there was an even more precise date – Thanksgiving 2020 (November 26), as it can be seen in the picture below. That picture was swiftly removed, and it was soon explained that it was an “error.”<\/p>\n

Was it really just “inaccurately listed in some regions”, or they accidentally revealed the launch date? I guess we will find out in a few months!<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n
