2019 would be a mistake for PS5, imo. The PS4 will have its best sales year yet this year and has just seemed to hit its stride in software, they should hold off until at least 2020. Honestly I think they should wait until 2021, maybe even 2022. 

Pretty much.

 

Sony has no reason to rush into next gen. They are dominating and making rivers of money. It would be insane for them to run the risk of starting a new gen, wich is always a gamble, and lose all that easy money. Aslong as the hardware is selling they have jo reason to.

 

If someone is gonna rush the next gen it's microsoft. They are not in a confortable position, Sony is.

Late 2019 would be 6 years, that's hardly rushing into next gen. It's also similar to the strategy they followed with PS1 and the PS2. Didn't stop the PS1 selling 102M and the PS2 from becoming the highest selling console ever. The PS4 is still going to sell a shit ton with a Slim at $149 and a Pro at $249.
