It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people who say that Sony would never release the PS5 in 2019, either because of sales or the releases they have coming. We have the web.

This has been Sony's MO since they got into the biz. You strike while you're still hot. Not, when your sales and releases are becoming just a trickle. That's how you lose momentum. And @ bold, you are completely wrong on that point.
