Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter has said that it?s too early for Sony and Microsoft to panic over the supply chain disruption caused by the recent outbreak of Coronavirus in China.
Last week, a note from Jefferies Group indicated that shutdowns that exceed a month are likely to delay the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, with many technology companies already announcing shipment delays and supply shortages. However, Pachter told TechRadar that Sony and Microsoft will probably begin manufacturing their next-gen consoles in June, and the situation may be under control by then. Even if it isn?t, the PS5 and Xbox Series X don?t necessarily have to be produced in China, although that may have an impact on production costs.
