PS5 launch set for June 11, while Xbox Series X might get delayed

Sony had deferred the last week’s Playstation 5 launch in light of the ongoing Black Lives Matter protest against police brutality and discriminatory acts in the US. Sony had released a statement that said, “We needed to step aside so key voices could be heard during this historic and important time.”
