My guess for now is October 2020 for NA and EU, with Spring 2021 for JP and Asia. System will be $400-450 range so whatever they can make at that time for that price and not lose much money at launch is about the power leap we will get from PS4 to PS5.

Well a new console in 2020 at the price of $400 or $450 will already be outdated by the tech that will be available in the market. So both console manufacturer have to find a sweet spot between GPU generation so that they can bake their own custom solution of future tech in the old outgoing tech.. thats the only way they can hit $400. So by 2020 we will be well into Zen/navi midlife and old architecture will be really old with no new tech on horizon the console will be stuck with navi with no custom solution.. by targeting the launch by 2019 sony can use much cheaper zen/vega and as rumored they can bake in some custom navi feature. until the PS5 pro comes out with full navi gpu by 2021 to compete against xbox two! 

well this just a wishful thinking.

I remember hearing the PS4 was outdated the instant it was released.  Yet, it has sold and is selling massively and making Sony a ton of money.  I don't think they will change strategy for PS5 making it very powerful or $500+ learning lessons from PS3 and PS4.
