If you are going to wait for the world to be at peace everywhere, where there is zero issue going around, you might as well dig your grave and lie there in wait, with all the people diyng of hunger, disease, prejudice from both white and black people, corrupt politicians, and so on.
God, after all these shitty months, I was really looking foward to this. It's probably delayed for just one week, but still.... |
The US is too big of a market to risk all the negative attention and general weakened impact of new game/console announcements. Social media which is majorly US driven would not be kind to them if the states are in just as bad or an even worse situation come Thursday. They definitely could have continued but it would have been a risk. 2 things are for sure though
1. The show will have more impact at a later date when less shit is happening in the US.
2. If sony are genuine about their support for BLM and anti-racism, then this is a very strong message.

You overestimatehow much people spend their time consuming news. This ''incident'' will last for weeks, and by the time thursday arrives, people will not only welcome the change of pace and watch some positive news(PS5) to brighten their moods, but also will be sick and tired of hering how a protest in favor of black people are tearing down stores owned by black people.
Plus, you know, EU is as big, if not bigger, of a market for Playstation than the US.
