The launch of the PS5 would be staggered
The PS5 would arrive in North America before other regions of the world, that is, the launch of the PS5 would be staggered and not simultaneous and global.
This began to speculate after in the trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War that was uploaded to the PlayStation channel it was seen that there were several release dates for the digital version of the game.
Meanwhile, for the rest of the world, it only says ‘end of 2020’.
Ironically, this video was removed and a new version without this screen of release dates.
On the other hand, the version of PS5 site The UK changed the console’s output text from ‘holidays 2020’ to ‘late 2020’. While the US page it still says ‘holidays 2020’.
It should be noted that a staggered release would not be anything unusual, since the launch of the PS4 in North America was on November 15, 2013, while for regions such as Mexico or Europe, it was until November 29 of that same year. For Japan it even took a few more months.
And now, that the PS5 will be launched in the middle of the pandemic and that there are rumors of its delay or that there are few units, it is likely that the launch will be staggered, even when the CEO of Sony, Jim Ryan, assured in May of this year that the launch of the PS5 would be global and simultaneous.
