Next-gen news is flying around fast today.
Shortly after Mark Cerny’s presentation on the PlayStation 5, Xbox wasted no time in updating the Series X site to officially confirm a Thanksgiving launch for the new console. For reference, Thanksgiving is November 26th this year.
It’s worth noting, that different links still show “Holiday 2020” while some links show the below.
UPDATE: Major Nelson has clarified that the posting was a mistake and they are still merely committed to “Holiday 2020”

Our Take
There’s been a lot of conversation, rightfully so, on whether or not the consoles will be delayed due to the Coronavirus. At least for the moment, it seems as though the Series X will still launch later this year given the Xbox team having updated the site. We certainly hope there aren’t any hold ups!
