If Sony were to release a PS5 in 2019 then that would make the PS4 Pro even more pointless than I already thought it was tbh. I already don't like the idea of mid-gen refreshes like the PS4 Pro or Scorpio in the first place (though it remains to be seen how Scorpio will end up) since I feel like they're pointless, but that means the people that bought a PS4 Pro only got to enjoy it for 3 years before having to buy yet another one. What was the point of a "mid-gen refresh" if it wasn't even going to extend the current generation by much longer? A normal console generation at least lasts 5 years usually, and the refresh consoles only came out 3 years after the originals, so it's not even really extending it by 3 years, it's more like 1 year at most since it the generation was probably going to last at least 5 years like it almost already has.
I don't even think there shouold be rumors of a PS5 right now since it still feels like this gen has a lot to offer. I mean, shit like PSVR and other VR things have BARELY just came out for consoles. As others have said in this thread I don't think a PS5 should be released until 2020 at earliest.
