The Scorpio is set to release this year, probably before Christmas but certainly before 2018. Sony will then have the weakest console on the market and are likely to begin a price war around the launch of the Scorpio, after a short 'wait and see' window in order to assess the need for such a thing. There may not be a need ... who knows at this point.
I think they WILL need a price drop in order to at least prevent the Scorpio totally eclipsing PS4 sales around the last quarter. I'm not sure whether the initial surge of sales will continue on through early 2018, but I don't think we can disregard that idea, especially in the US. Europe and certainly Japan are a different story. It seems to me a slimmer version of the PS4 Pro with a cheaper price would be the way to go, so does anyone think we'll see a PS4 Pro come the last quarter of 2017?
The PS5 Exists.
