Did Amazon Japan just leak the PS5 release date?

[Chris Smith]

• It’s unclear when Sony will unveil the PS5 price and release date, but Microsoft has revealed availability details for both the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.
• Amazon customers from Japan discovered listings for PS5 accessories that featured pricing details and launch dates.
• The now-removed listings claimed the accessories will launch on November 20th, suggesting that’s when the two PS5 consoles will hit stores.

The proverbial ball is in Sony’s court at the moment, now that Microsoft revealed its last remaining next-gen Xbox secrets. Microsoft only needed a couple of days to confirm the Xbox Series S is real and announce everything about it, from price to preorder date to launch date. Microsoft went even further than that, disclosing the availability details for the Series X as well. Both will be available to preorder on September 22nd and will ship on November 10th. The cheaper model costs $299, while the more expensive Xbox will cost $499. Both devices will be available under the Xbox All Access program, which has expanded to 12 additional markets.

It’s absolutely clear that Microsoft is targeting a wide range of potential customers with the two 2020 Xbox versions, and it’s looking to make the purchase as affordable as possible. When will Sony respond with its own PS5 price and release date reveal? We have no idea. But could a leak also kickstart Sony’s announcements?
