The reason I think mid 2019 is to get the jump on MS. MS released their mid gen console a year after Sony so it's less likely Sony will get a huge backlash from those who only just recently bought a Pro. MS would have to wait a little longer in order to make sure they didn't have a backlash. Pro wasn't promoted heavily whilst the XB1X was, which makes it even harder for MS to try and release alongside Sony if Sony decide to release mid 2019. This would give Sony at least 6 months head start in building a userbase for the PS5, unless MS take that big risk. Throw in BC and as far as I'm concerned it's game over. |
You're reasoning is on point, but what's makes you believe that a new Xbox will come before 2020? Even if Sony chooses fall 2019, they will get a year head start.
edit: and why cannibalize PS4 sales this early? Having PS5 one year after PS4's theoretical peak, would be somewhat stupid if you ask me.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
