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.

The incompleteness of your assertion aside. How will Microsoft do it? The XbonX still costs 400+. What hardware will they have at that certain time of launch that allows them to offer it at a 399, one up their previous hardware significantly?
