The world has been reeling from the effects of the deadly COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak that has infected over 75,000 people and killed over 2100 since the start of this year. Though spread of the disease appears to be slowing, it?s still the cause of health and safety concerns across the globe. Despite being largely centered in mainland China, we?ve seen a number of tech companies rescind their attendance to US conventions and expos in an abundance of caution, citing concerns for the health and safety of their global workforce. It?s also putting pressure on the Chinese manufacturing of electronics, and there?s some debate about how the current outbreak and subsequent recovery period will impact manufacturing of new 2020 devices, including Sony?s own PlayStation 5. Now let me be absolutely clear here. The health and safety of people come first, so the speculation in today?s Daily Reaction isn?t meant to levy criticism at Sony for canceling event attendance or lament that the PS5 could be delayed. Coronavirus is a deadly crisis and a tragedy impacting real human lives. However, it is also having an undeniable impact on 2020 plans and operations. For us, that interest lies in Sony?s PlayStation 5 strategy and whether the coronavirus outbreak has caused any internal changes in that plan.
