"PS4 has now cumulatively sold through more than 73.6 million units globally as of December 31, 2017." (4 years, 1 month and 17 days).

Right now, Sony should double down on PS4/PS4 Pro - in my opinion, it has a clear chance of becoming the best selling console of all time.

Releasing PS5 in 2019 won't benefit them.

 

Agreed. Games and services on PS4 is raking in cash. PS4 is still selling like hotcakes. There's still not the slightest market demand for new, expensive and powerful next-gen hardware. The defining games for PS4 are finally coming in 2018 and 2019.

I hope that PS5 will arrive in late 2020 at the earliest.
