Based on?

You do know that new gens are usually brought when HW sales drop steepy and SW drop as well right?

Do you expect MS to but Scorpio this holiday and in 1 year kick another generation to make Sony release a PS5? Or do you expect Scorpio to outsell PS4 vanilla so much that Sony get desperate to launch PS5 or what?

Sony stated that they were returning to a more typical generation length, the previous one was protracted because it took the playstation 3 so long to be profitable, so I think 6 years is about right. 

I think the PS4 has peaked already, I suspect that total year sales will go down this year and the next enough to justify a 2019 release for the PS5, it's nothing to do with XBox One X, it's not a legit threat to the PS4. Before you sony fans burst a blood vessel, this is just my opinion, I could be completely wrong.

But releasing the Pro and PSVR to streech the gen may make the gen go for the 7th or 8th year
