It's probably not going to much more powerful than the Xbox one X if it wants to stay competitively priced.

Which is why people who think it is coming out in 2019 are out of their minds.  They forget that unless we are going to see incremental upgrades from now on (pro becomes to new low end, PS5 is the new "4k" machine, etc), we need more time to make a sizable jump into a new generation.  Like it or not, the Pro and X extended this generation.

Those people are out of their minds to think Sony would launch new gen JUST BEFORE NEW PROCESS AND APU IS AVAILABLE FROM AMD.
Why would they ever willingly forgo such a great advance in power/performance/$? What critical need would force such a wasteful move?
Of course they don't mention or address AMD's upcoming tech at all, of course because they're not basing things on tech fundamentals at all.
It's just a year and a console gen to them, hardware is irrelevant.
