I think this is absolutely asinine. For every obvious reason, but also the fact that this would mean they would be releasing a new console months from now, yet haven’t even announced it yet (and at this point it would just be announced at E3, just 5 months before it would release).

Ps5 releasing this year would be completely idiotic. Ps4 still has awesome momentum right now, with last year being its best year to date (even without a price cut), and this year having the potential to top 2017 if they do a price cut. Ontop of that, PS4 has 4 games releasing in the next 2 years (TLoU p2, GoW, Spider-Man, Death Stranding) that each have the potential to be bigger than every previous exclusive (save for maybe U4). Even just announcing ps5 would detract from the attention they want focused on their very profitable ps4 and all of its exclusives.
