According to a report from VideoGamesChronicle, PS5 is currently rumored to be launching during the week of November 13th while Microsoft's Xbox Series X is currently rumored to be launching a week earlier.
Quote:
According to VGC’s development and retail sources, mid-November is exactly when PlayStation 5 is most likely to land. In the UK, we understand that PlayStation has already booked significant marketing spend for the seven days commencing on Friday, November 13. Multiple retail sources have also told us that a launch during this window would fit within their expectations.
Development and retail sources also agree that Xbox will launch first. Microsoft has told developers to plan towards a launch in the very first week of the November, we understand, which would also give it wiggle room to potentially slip into the second week and still launch ahead of Sony. Xbox sources indicated that the platform holder is also expecting PS5 to arrive within the week commencing November 13.

The report also mentioned the reason why both Sony and Microsoft have been unwilling to give any solid launch details is due to both fearing production and retail plans for their upcoming console launches might get wrecked by the second wave of the coronavirus.
