If there was any possibility of that happening, by now the rumor mill would be filled with very very specific and accurate information of what the next console will be packing. |
We have had a recent rumor that dev kits are already in the hands of 3rd party devs. Sony seems to be getting stricter recently about leaks, so we may not hear any real details til we are closer to its launch. Still, even if it doesn't launch in 2019, it will launch in 2020 at the absolute latest. Sony is not going to give MS the chance of having a 2-3 years head start on them, if MS decides to jump ship on this gen early to get a head start, which helped them with the 360. At the latest, I expect MS to be ready by 2020 to push out another console.
A year isn't that big of a deal, but 2-3 is just too much in this day and age. A few of those who like to adopt tech early may jump ship if the XB2 is powerful enough and has a good price. And they could possibly get quite a few mid-gen adopters as they will be ready to drop their price as the PS5 launches. If they are really cutthroat, they would be able to get a $150-$200 price advantage by the time the PS5 comes out, which would be quite the obstacle.
