The European Football Championship and Summer Olympics had also been postponed to at least 2021. Why do you have that with such important things as the US election and the nextgen console release. Consoles PS5 and XB SX not made that way too? What's your opinion?
That would be even better if the US election were postponed… Then a president could just stay in office forever if there were enough crises… If necessary, you would have to help out. Fortunately, that's not how democracy works.
I don't really care about the console release, it doesn't matter.
What does the US election have to do with a console release? What speaks against holding an election?
I haven't heard such nonsense for a long time… XD As if the Ps5 was an important event and if it has hardly anything to do with Corona, people tend to stay at home. And the US elections are almost impossible to postpone and people can keep their distance there too, so no need to postpone them. At an EM it's completely different with Corona, you can also develop yourself…
Where is the release of new consoles an important event?
And no, the publication could not have been postponed by a year under any circumstances. The reason is the hardware. The hardware has been fixed for a long time and the development as such has long been completed. AMD, as a supplier, has long ordered the chips from their manufacturers and has to pay for them, do you mean they are now putting the finished chips on hold for a year just so that the consoles will be sold later?
When the company's planning was completed, the extent of Corona was not yet foreseeable.
The same applies to the US election and you can also take certain precautions in polling stations so that the risk of infection is minimal.
At major sporting events, that is something different, they need spectators (otherwise it is a billion-dollar grave than it already is) and then it is simply not economical with no or fewer spectators. And many viewers who have been in close contact for a long time are not medically responsible either.
At the polling station there may be 15-30 minutes of contact with others (maybe 15-30 people) at one stage there's contact with several hundred people for hours. These are completely different conditions.
The earth does not stand still because of Corona.
