Either 2020 or 2021 ...

Xbox 360 lasted for 8 years so we can expect the PS4 to stay for roughly the same amount of time before it gets replaced ...

2019 is most likely, since it’s the 25th PS anniversary. 6 years is enough, last gen‘s 7 were unusually long already.
Although I’d be totally fine if they waited until 2020, but I also think Sony doesn’t want to be the one reacting, they want to be acting. 

Why would "25th anniversary" be justification for new platform launch?
If anything, it is opportunity to offer "Special 25th anniversary edition" of PS4Pro with cosmetic details to attract PS4 owners.
Sony doesn't need temporary marketing gimmick to sell new platform, the platform should sell itself in launch year and after.
What does "Sony doesn't want to be the one reacting" actually MEAN when Sony depends on AMD to deliver core of product?
If you wait for CPU/memory process advance, you can define generation capabilities taking advantage of that leap in power.
If you don't wait, you spec performance at lower level, and non-APU/RAM parts will never benefit from re-spin price drop.

PS4 Pro as mid gen upgrade was released after 3 years, so why does 6 sound unrealistic?! Especially since there are rumours for PS5 dev kits in the wild already. In 2 years not only base PS4 but also PSVR will start to really seem dated compared to the competition.

Sony is working closely with AMD. They even developed certain Vega features like half floats in team. A Vega based GPU with Zen based CPU seems feasible in 2 years. 

RAM shouldn’t be the problem either. No one would have believed PS4 would release with 8GB GDDR RAM for 400,- either, before release.

PS4 is not 5 years old, its 4 years and 3 months.

I think PS5 will come Nov 2020 giving PS4 a 7 year life.

I look at how many Decembers its been on the market. From December 2013-December 2017 counts for 5 years. That means its specs are from 2011, make the tech 7 years old...... Its time for a new PS no matter what anybody says, the PS4 is old by any reasonable standards.

Im sorry but thats not how time is measured. Dec 2013-Dec 2017 is 4 years, thats a fact.

 

I dont really think specs determine when a successor releases.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

When PS4 official price become  under $150.



2020 at the earliest. 2021 is quite possible.

Not that I disagree with you, but Xbox 360 lifespan was the exception, not the rule. Due to the recession in 2009-2010 it's life was prolonged, or else we would've seen a successor in ~2011.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

2020 The PS4 is doing Terrific, there is no need to release PS5 yet. Considering TLOU2 most probably will release in 2019, I dont think they would announce PS5 and steal the thunder of the game

It's not as if PS4 stole tlou thunder in 2013 anyways, and now it's even less likely now that it's a renowned game/ip and not a brand-new one.

Not that I disagree with you that's it's coming in 2020 anyways.

2020 is my best bet

I think we either see PS5 in 2019, or PS4 Premium in 2019 and PS5 in 2022.
