Sony didn't force Microsofts hand at all. They had a "scorpio" to release in 2016 but decided against it.

If anything, the pro seems rushed in comparison to the X. Sony releasing the ps5 early 2019 will likely play into Microsoft's hands giving them a head start. The console won't be powerful enough to push Xbox one X in terms of a generational leap. Xbox would be the entry level console, running the same games at a fraction of the cost. Though, the ps5 versions would run better. It would be little over a year from one release to the next.
There won't be a ps5 or Xbox infinite until 2020.
