The only bits Sony has revealed of the console so far include its logo, the console’s gamepad along with a demo of sorts to showcase how it would be like playing a game on the console. The exact shipping dates too are being withheld at the moment though that is likely to happen around fall.
The company also stated they are anticipating delays in shipping of the console post the launch. That obviously has to do with the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic that has almost the entire world in its grip at the moment and has caused immense disruptions to the global supply chain, besides causing delays or cancellations of almost all schedules on a global scale.
