JAKARTA - Sony has reportedly postponed the schedule for the launch of the PlayStation 5 console in a number of Southeast Asian regions, including Indonesia. This was triggered after Sony changed the tagline 'launches holiday 2020' from several regional sites for the PS5.

Launching from Screen Rant , Monday, October 19, the actual use of the tagline 'holiday 2020' is not well known in Southeast Asia. Where the term refers to the month of November or December towards the end of the year before the Christmas holidays.

This material change was reported to have occurred in Indonesia, followed by Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Underneath there is no more writing indicating the PS5 will be present at the end of this year.

With this change, it means that Sony will release its new console for Southeast Asia at the earliest in 2021. Of course this is inversely proportional to the statement of PlayStation boss Jim Ryan, who said that the PS5 will be launched globally and simultaneously.

This is because retail sites in Singapore have not changed their distribution schedule, with prices on sale for the PS5 starting at 449 Singapore dollars. In fact, Sony has reopened the second pre-order phase for the PS5 in Singapore, since last October 16.

Although there is no official statement yet, there were rumors that Sony was cutting production and distribution of the PS5. The pruning was carried out in view of the still volatile COVID-19 pandemic.

So it's quite natural that Sony postponed the sale of the PS5. "Currently we have not changed the number of PS5 units since the start of the mass production process," wrote the Sony Play Station.
