Lol, this is such a dumb rumor. Sony is destroying this gen and the ps4 is still on fire from a sales perspective. Sony is also making money hand over fist right now with the Playstation division...so why would they launch a ps5 now...when they've never launched a new system only 5+ years into the current gen?

Come on people.

Well to be fair, that’s exactly what they did with ps2. 

 

PS1 Japan launch: December 3rd 1994. 

PS2 Japan launch: March 4th 2000. 

 

5 yrs 3mos. 

 

That's true. I just find it hard to believe with the release of the PS4Pro and One X as well as how well the PS4 is selling that Sony is launching a new console in the beginning of 2019 (or 2019 period).
