“We decided to postpone the release of PlayStation 5 that was originally scheduled for June 4. We learned that gamers around the world are eagerly waiting for PS5 games. But we don’t think it’s time for a celebration. We want to keep silent so that we can listen To a more important voice,” Sony said in a statement.

Many users of social networks support the company’s decision. It is noting that they are now “in no mood” to watch the next generation of games.

Google plans to have the company’s vice president Dave Burke (Dave Burke) preside over the launch of Android 11. And then holds a question and answer session on the social network.

However, these plans must also be postponed.

According to the introduction of the 9to5Google portal, the transmission of the presentation will not affect the final release date of Android 11. Which is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.

Cisco also announced the rescheduling of this event due to the protests in the United States. The Cisco Live 2020 meeting held online this year will not be held. The company’s CEO Chuck Robbins condemned George Floyd’s “horrible, crazy, and really disgusting” murder in a video message.
