Honestly, if i were Sony, i'd release PS5 as soon as possible.
PS4 is still a monster in sales and that appeal could - possibly - be transferred to PS5 and start the lifecycle with a bang.
Easier said than done, though.

Amazing Spiderman sales!

Begin of gen enthusiast and late life buyers aren't the same...

No need to rush.

Gens start usually when they see a decline in SW sold. And PS4 just crossed the peak of HW sales (SW seems like haven't yet), so Holiday 2020 is the most likely year for release (before I was more for 2021).

It's about the momentum and the competition.

The momentum for PS4, and Sony, obviously, is still very high and could very well be channeled to PS5. With the benefit of better fending off the competition.
This generation was pretty much won from day one (XB1 was a huge mistep by MS and Nintendo had… Wii U), but the same might not happen next time.

Better safe than sorry, i say.

Not that i see Sony being in some sort of trouble even if they are last to the market, but Sony knows what happens when they take things for granted. 
Not to mention MS will have learned it's lesson.
