Yeah well obviously. But I don't see this releasing next year. 2020 seems like the sweet spot

I see it being no earlier than holiday 2020 and no later than holiday 2021, with 2020 being the more likely of the two.

I agree, and whether or not AMD 7nm is available is not strict determinant, but it's pricing/volume and that for memory.
If those are too high, it could make sense to wait another year or so to get better price that enables better spec which games will be built around.
I think it's also potentially worthwhile to wait for newer GPU, Sony is making plenty of $ on software/PSN, they have no urgency to launch early.
They should only launch when no new tech is likely to appear in next 2-3 years, that is when the stars are aligned for new gen.
