2020 and 2021 are both plausible. 2021 does give them more time to get an affordable system that is as powerful as possible, and if the PS4 isn't massively down YoY next year, the sales situation will allow them to put off the PS5's release. No sense in releasing a new system when your current one is still doing well, after all.

2019 however is too early, and 2022 too late.

Except Sony always releases their systems when their predecessor is still hot. It's how you maintain momentum. PS3 to PS4 is the only exception, mainly because they stretched out the gen to recoup early losses. The PS4 did not have that problem. 

PS3 was still hot, just past the peak.
