I can deal with the Q1 launch because that would give the console 3 strong sales points (launch, Black Friday and X-mas) during the first year, but not the 2019.
Also, to be fully compatible with PS4 games, it needs to be full AMD, both CPU and GPU, and while the CPU side looks good with maybe an 8-core Zen+ unit, the GPU side doesn't look very good, with Vega 56 and 64 (10.5 and 12.5 TFlops each) using way more than 200W of power. Sure, if they're ported to the newer 12nm process they'll use less power, but we're still looking at 170-180W, and then add the CPU, RAM, etc on the mix and we end with a 250W or more box.
Nah, I think they'll wait until 2020, when they'll be able to use the superior 7nm process.
Please excuse my bad English.
