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.

You say 2-3 yrs as if MS is releasing their own console this year. And no way they are releasing next year either.

There have been specific rumors about developer kits already being with developers since mid of last year already.

Nah man..... thats not even nearly specific. Nothing like what these rumors are really like. Unless you really believe that within a year afetr releasing the PS4pro and trying to get support for it sony was already giving third parties dev kits? Ridiculous. Hell, I would have even given that rumor more credibility if they didn't mention third parties. Third parties are the last to get dev kits.
You guys should all just relax...... not a chance in hell the PS5 comes out next year (which is 2019). And if sony somehow manages to have another 18-20M year in 2019; it won't be coming out in 2020 either.

You're naive if you think sales numbers dictate a release date. New tech like this is planned years in advance. They can’t just decide to change the chipset and wait another year.
