Business insider with reference to an investment firm Jefferies group reports that due to a coronavirus outbreak, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X may be delayed.
If the Chinese factories where most consumer devices are manufactured are closed for more than a month, then the initial circulation of systems may be reduced at least, and in the worst case, the output will be postponed
The same goes for other electronics. It is possible that Apple will have to postpone the release of the new iPhone due to production problems.
Factories, for example, Foxconn will be closed until at least February 10th. They were not opened after January 25, when the Chinese New Year came.
Nintendo, by the way, has already publicly announced that the outbreak of the virus affected the production process of the new Switch, so fresh print runs may be delayed: for example, in Japan, the limited edition console for Animal Crossing has already been delayed.
