On the other hand, you could easily be correct in following the official statements. With the state of the world, maybe it makes sense to get these things out the door and in hands this nov/dec before the economic shitshow reaches more dire stages and belts tighten to maximum.
In my opinion, releasing the consoles this year is a big mistake.
Not only is the economical situation dire for many potential buyers, the psychological impact is the bigger reason to postpone it.
2020 is a year that is anxiety-inducing and depressing for many people. The black humor memes are over the top with "lol, 2020 am I right? What happens next month?"
And you want to release a product that only releases every 5 to 8 years and doesn't NEED to release?
Psychologically, it would be better to release it in 2021, the year we've beaten Covid! (hopefully with a vaccine ready) A new beginning! A fresh start! Lets celebrate with a new console generation!
Even if the economical situation hasn't much improved, the good vibes could guide the consoles through a rocky start.
While it could be a disaster in the making if they are released in 2020, underperform, and become just another notch in the "Just 2020 being 2020."
ESPECIALLY! If you don't have many games ready for your stupid train crash in the making because no-one wants to blink.
