It's highly possible that these dates are just estimates or placeholders, so I'd encourage waiting until developers and publishers share confirmation of these months and years before assuming this is completely accurate.

If you're still trying to grab a PS5, there's no shortage of titles currently available with some of the best PS5 games right now including Astro's Playroom, Demon's Souls remake and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Update, January 15 (3:54 p.m. ET) — These dates have been pulled
