I think so too, and I actually hope thats the outcome.

Nintendo showed it works (with the switch), that launching earlier on in the year to fix the initial insane sales works just as well,
and that this way you dont *waste* your first holiday's sales effect.

Yeah, but not just that, its obvious that games like TLoU 2, Ghosts of Tsushima and Death Stranding will be cross gen games and hardly will be launch before PS5 launch, so I have hart time believing we will wait another 2 full years, but with launch in March 2020. all makes much more sense.

What makes you think that? All those games will be out 2020 latest. Death Stranding is finished already and their only polishing now. I absolutely don't believe they'll release them after PS5 has released already, no chance in hell imho. They sure will want us to double dip.

Sooo i guess this website is wrong??? I see every week marking PS4 sales worldwide as over 200k and it outsells the switch in territory except Japan. Don't get ahead of yourself with defensive tones while being wrong.

I read it wrong, weekly world wide, yes, not in each territory. I edited my post lol. Still, what does sales have to do with winning E3? like...what? And still, Switch hass been doing 200K weekly as well....without games like RDR2, Spiderman, etc.

"Winning" E3 is pretty pointless that far in the gen. Microsoft "won" E3 this year, according to the majority. Has it helped them in any way concerning sales? Has the incredibly lacklustre show of Nintendo damaged their reputation? No. They'll make up for with other announcements and events through the year.
Btw Layden has even officially stated that they don't want to disappoint people with a lacklustre show. They kind of did last time already and imho it's understandable they want to keep some announcements for their big anniversary in December.

So because thats how the launched the PS4 it means thats hat they are going to do again?

We know this much. They have cancelled E3 next year. Tht completely takes a fabuary 2019 reveal of the PS5 off the cards or a possible 2019 launch of the PS5.

We also know that 2019 would make their 25th anniversary. Whats the single biggest thing you think they can announce at a PSX 2019 event? Another limited edition console? No.

7nm fabrication is going into full swing next year, which means whatever is going to be in the PS5 can and will be finalized next year. 

These all point to a PSX 2019 announcement of the PS5 along with the announcement of certain games already anounced fr the PS4 to be launced  alongside the new console by march 2020.

This not only allows sony to launch the console with a good number of games but als at a higher price of $499. And the have its first unofficial price drop just a few months later in its first holiday season if demand for their isnt as hot at that higher price point.

$500 console launches usually end up horribly.  See PS3 and XBoxOne.  The PS3 took the entire gen to inch into 2nd place, and the Xbox One never really recovered.  Anything over $399 will not find mass adoption.  If PS5 were to launch at $499, all Microsoft would have to do is release the next Xbox at $399, and they would instantly regain their lost 360 marketshare.

Considering this is the first gen with mid gen consoles still selling at 400 or more, it feels highly likely they both will for go for 500 next time imho.

I couldn't agree less with this decision. It feels they are again showing some of the arrogance levels that they shown during the PS3 early days. I really hope I'm wrong on this one.

It's the absolute opposite if the even state that they don't want to disappoint their fans because they feel they don't have enough new stuff to show.
