As part of the report earlier today that PS5 inventory would be constrained at launch, Bloomberg also indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic has created issues for Sony?s PS5 marketing plans, including forcing out the DualSense controller reveal in a more hurried manner with much less fanfare than was initially hoped for (which doesn?t seem to have stymied the hype). The report says that Sony was planning to do a public press conference to unveil the PS5 console, price, and release date, but now may have to rethink those plans as the pandemic limits the ability to gather a large number of people together.
There are apparently a small number of people inside Sony who actually know what the final PlayStation 5 console design will look like, but the DualSense controller has started to be shared with third parties outside of Sony. The company opted for a PlayStation Blog reveal of its look and features to prevent leaks from occurring.
