What about riding the PS4 gravy train for as long as possible as they're making money on it and are under no pressure to move on to the next gen?

When Sony released the PS2, the PS1 continued to sell with very long legs. It's gravy train did not end when the PS2 released.
When Sony released the PS3, the PS2 continued its gravy train continued for a long time.
The PS4 is a very solid console like the PS1 and the PS2. It will have strong legs even after the PS5 releases, regardless if it comes out in 2019 or a later year.
What Sony needs to be worried about is the PS5. The PS2 was the best selling console of all time and that did not help the PS3 one bit. The PS4 is very solid, but that will not help the PS5 one bit. The longer they wait to release the PS5, the harder time it will have in the marketplace. The Switch already has a head start that is two years old and growing. Are they going to let Microsoft have a head start too? How much are they going to cripple the PS5 before it even launches?

Switch is Gen 8 not 9 so it has no head start to be honest. At least that is the consensus. And neither company is releasing the next gen system this year. Both will be next year at the earliest. In my opinion that is anyway. And Sony would be foolish also in my opinion to release the PS5 this year when they are just SLIGHTLY down from their 2017 peak year. Next year would be perfect for the PS5 release.
