E3 2020 cancellation has reportedly shifted major reveal events for both PS5 and Xbox Series X
Coronavirus upended Sony's plans for a PS5 ൩event in May, claims new report

Niko Partners senior games industry analyst has suggested that the cancellation of E3 2020 has forced both 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Microsoft and Sony to reschedule their showcases for next-gen consoles the 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Xbox Series X and PS5 respectively.
In a Twitter thread posted yesterday, Ahmad stated that the "first proper next gen console/games showcase" is much earlier than the originaš l week of E3 2020, which was scheduled to take place į£from June 9 - 11 later this year, alongside other announcements from game publishers which were also planned to take place during the annual games expo over the summer.
With E3 cancelled, a lot of the planned reveals / announcements have been moved out š of that single week. Some are now much earlišer, others much later. Some still during E3 week ofc.The first proper next gen console/games showcase is much earlier too.
That said, Ahmad also claimed that other announcements formerš„ly tied to E3 will instead be revealed "much later" than June, while others will still place during "E3 week" itself, presumably over separate digital events or through the pšublisher's own marketing showcase.
There's also the ongoing situation arouš·nd COVID-19, the reason for E3 2020's cancellation, which Ahmad clarifies could still "change plans right at the last minute". That means we can't guarantee anything for now, but it certainly sounds like we could be seeing more from the PS5 or Xbox Series X withiź¦n the next few weeks.
A follow up report from suggests that Sony was planning to unveil the PS5 with a physical event in May, next month. That's obviously not happeningš anymore, but it remains unclear whether the company still intends to hold a digital alternative on the same timeline instead.
Sony recently unveiled its 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:PS5 controller, the DualSense, in a surprise post earlier this month, while recent reports suggest 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:PlayStation's console is š§still oš§n track for a Holiday 2020 launch, albeit in a limited capacity,ā and at a higher price.
