I do know 3 things.

1. My 2019 prediction is looking more solid as the days go by. 

2. Remember what happened to XBO sales after the announcement of the X? They dropped significantly. Guessing that's going to happen, again, soon. 

3. MS has really taken the "Please be excited" crown from SE. 

Ive been #Team2019 all year. I can see at least one launching. Microsoft will probably strike first to get a leg up on Sony. Just my opinion. Both could wait till 2020 but I’m not very confident in that scenario. 

Good to have you on the team.

I think MS do want to launch early, since this gen isn't going well for them. Of course, I'm sure Sony is ready for that. I think they have always had 2019 as the planned date, with a chance of launching 2020 if tech didn't quite work out.

I think they have two ways of playing it out. Both involve MS announcing their console first, since they seem so eager to jump to next gen. If their specs are practically the same they could launch in 2019, just so MS doesn't get a headstart. It's a PS, with PS4 B/C (possibly more than just PS4), so it'll sell. Or if they don't care about that, they'll launch it 2020 with slightly improved specs to make it another PS4 VS XBO. It's a PS, but with better specs than the XB2, so it'll sell. Either way, they automatically claim EU and Japan over the XB2. NA is where the battle will rage.
