Will the coronavirus delay the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X? As COVI𓃲D-꧅19 tears its way across the globe the consequences can be seen in its human victims, a tumbling stock market, and the cancellation of events that draw large crowds. While the main concern will always be the health and welfare of people around the world, the effects of the virus could have a knock-on effect on the launch of the Xbox Series X far into the future. 

Making a console like the Xbox Series X is not a simple procedure, requiring the work of hundreds of people manufacturing hundreds of parts from factories across the globe. A delay or closure at any one of the links in that chain could mean that when the new consoles go on sale ♈in time for the holidays, there are fewer units than usual.

Coronavirus delays and cancellations 

We're already beginning to see the outbreak affect games studios. Developers like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bungie, Valve, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft in Seattle have instructed their staff to work from home, and events like GDC and SXSW have been canceled, ꦚwith the future of even the titanic E3 in doub♐t. 

Lower profile consoles, like Konami's TurboGrafx-16 Mini have been delayed indefinitely. "The manufacturing and shipping facilities in China have ꦚencountered an unavoidable suspension due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak," the company said in a . "As a result, the deli⛄very of all PC Engine Core Grafx mini products, which was originally scheduled for March 19th, 2020, will be delayed until further notice."

The Oculꦺus Quest VR headset has been affected - with Facebook "additional impact to our hardware production" - and Valve's Index VR headset similarly affected. "The global coronavirus health crisis has impacted our production schedules so we will have far fewer units for sale during the coming months compared to the volumes we originally planned," Valve said. This is a particular blow for Valve, which will release new VR title Half Life: Alyx on March 23.
