Nah, 2 and a half years. Holiday 2020 it's going to launch. The whole "crouch down" thing is in reference to a forecasted drop in operating profit for PlayStation for the Fiscal Year ending 31st March 2021. As a console launch isn't usually a particularly profitable time for PlayStation I expect this to be the fiscal year the ps5 launches.

November 2020.

Did you not read the article? Why did you insert you're own interpretation to the article despite it being cut and dry on what the contents were? SMH.

The article is an interpretation itself of this quote: "We will use the next three years to prepare the next step, to crouch down so that we can jump higher in the future,"

I believe they are interpreting the quote wrong. This quote was in relation to operating profits, which is why it was accompanied by an operating profit forecast for the FY ending march 2021, (130 - 170 billion yen), an advanced forecast is certainly not the norm.

The "next three years" are the fiscal years ending march 2019,2020 and 2021. "The crouch down" is the reducing profits towards the end of these three years.

Taking the "we will use the next three years to prepare the next step" as meaning the PS5 won't launch till after march 2021 is a mistake imo.
