Would have been really cool if it came early. One thing that's missing here is when was the original plan to launch in August concieved? 3 years ago, 2 years, last year? It seems to me that would have been a nice plan that could have changed even pre-covid due to schedule slips. I don't discount this rumor. It's one of the things that MS can do to try to regain market share: be priced competively, release earlier, and/or be more powerful (outside of the obvious of getting better software support).
Also, just because they said Holiday 2020, doesn't preclude them from moving the schedule up if they can meet it. Who would complain? What kind of loser would complain that MS moved up a console launch if they could.
I'm still hoping we get at least one of PS5/XSX in October. But at this point, I think getting the software done in time is a bigger issue.
