June 1st Sony Interactive Entertainment distributed on social networks, an open appeal to fans, where she announced the postponement of the PlayStation 5 presentation due to the unrest in the United States.
We decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled for June 4th. We understand that players around the world want to see PS5 games, but we feel that this is not the best time to celebrate. And now we will allow more important voices to be heard. https://t.co/eci56J2Wnu

Domestic gamers, who do not understand how the Japanese corporation is connected with what is happening in the United States and what does Russia have to do with it, have accepted the published message with hostility.
“The Japanese company Sony will not show its product, because there are pogroms in the USA. Ok, I see, ”one of the Twitter users writes.
“As Alexander III said, there is no worse enemy for a Russian gamer than women, racial minorities and LGBT people,” jokingly answers another Sony’s appeal.
“And what are we here for?” Writes a disgruntled resident of Russia. “What does it mean for more important voices to be heard?” You want to say that black voices are more important for you? This is a racist slogan. Leave the Americans to solve their internal problems, you are a Japanese company. ”
“What does Japan have to do with blacks ??? You have chants and anime with hentai! ”
There were also some outright swearing at the company.
“Dear Sony Corporation, what you do with your fans cannot be called censored.”
“Have you already knelt and apologized?”
“You ***** [блин], the Japanese company, hello, they actually dropped a bomb on you! ”
“Yes, you go in the ass, it is from a pure heart!”
“******* [достали]! “
“Now you just have to ******** [напиться]. Without a sense of joy and happiness. ”
Some threaten to buy a competitor’s console, while others worry about platform games.
“Yes, do not release it at all then, there are more important things in the world, for example, throwing the console away from Sony and switching to Nintendo, or at worst to the finished Xbox, there’s at least something to show.”
“First the conference was rescheduled, then will you postpone the games?”
“The bottom, I’ll buy the Xbox, it’s even been shown, and you chew on the snot further.”
“Do you want to make your own riots there?” It would not be the other way around to distract people, to please us with something, if you are looking for attracted reasons. ”
“Well then, cancel the sale, you are two-faced ******** [гады]”.
At the same time, there are not so categorical fans of the brand, who continue to calmly wait for the event.
“A very correct decision. Glad you responded! I look forward to new announcements. ”
“Ehh, ok, wait. Just prepare normal vidos for NEXT-GEN games and everything will be fine. Surprise us. “
The Sony event was supposed to be held on June 4 at 23:00 Moscow time. The company was preparing an hour-long broadcast, during which it planned to show the first games for the PlayStation 5, including from the starting line of the console.
When the broadcast will take place is currently unknown.
Opinions were divided on the postponement of the presentation on the American PlayStation page – many criticized the company, while others supported it. The greatest disappointment is expressed by residents of Europe and other regions. They urge Sony to think not only about the United States. Industry representatives like former Kotaku editor Jason Schreyer, who speaks for protesters, are participating in the discussion.
