Niko Partners senior games industry analyst has suggested that the cancellation of E3 2020 has forced both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft and Sony to reschedule their showcases for next-gen consoles the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: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 origina🌠l week of E3 2020, which was scheduled to take place ဣfrom 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. 

That said, Ahmad also claimed that other announcements former🔥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 p𒈔ublisher's own marketing showcase. 

There's also the ongoing situation arou🐷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 withiꦑn 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 happening🐎 anymore, but it remains unclear whether the company still intends to hold a digital alternative on the same timeline instead. 

Sony recently unveiled its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 controller, the DualSense, in a surprise post earlier this month, while recent reports suggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation's console is 🧔still o🧜n track for a Holiday 2020 launch, albeit in a limited capacity,✃ and at a higher price.
