The only reason they might do this would be fears over the Switch, but they have been consistently outselling the Switch WW so far. That doesn’t mean that will continue through or past this year but would warrant waiting till 2019 for launch. They would have to be pretty greedy and have an irrational desire to have the entire industry to themselves if they went so far as to announce it this year to deflate the Switch and try to gain more ground in Japan. My prediction is 2019, but it is Sony, the industry has been extra vibrant, and, along with Nintendo consolidating their two platform lines, the strategy options are pretty unique right now.
