I expect a lot will depend on how the Scorpio does. If it's a massive success, we'll probably start hearing murmurings about a PS5 by the end of 2018. If it does lacklustre, i think Sony will take things slow. It'd be quite a while before MS could justify launching another system (it could take another 4 years if they have to make something a big step above the Scorpio will also launching at a lower price), so Sony would be able to ride off the PS4's success for as long as it remains relevant.
