PlayStation 5 would be released no sooner than 2020
Sony would launch the PlayStation 5 in 2020. Rumors about a new PlayStation game computer in 2018 or 2019 are most likely not correct, according to sources from Kotaku.
The sources emphasize that the target date of 2020 is not fixed. "With such a large project the schedules can change a lot", one of the initiates tells us.
Many game developers would not even have been informed about the PlayStation 5. Studios that work on games that will be released in 2019 would focus purely on the PlayStation 4. The chances would, therefore, be very small that the game console will be released before 2020 because games must be available. Sony released the PlayStation 4 about five years ago. The PlayStation 3 was available for seven years before being followed up.

I’m ok with 2020, it could be even later (2021/2022). The regular PS4 (non pro) still good enough in my opinion.

i bet most people in here using steam and know how the trending flow
most developer, even japanese developer that really "close-relationship" with sony
releasing their game on PC, most of them released same day as US version
look at those BandaiNamco, KoeiTecmo.... even squareenix dont want to miss the trend, like FFXV just few months behind console release
today game-console isnt like in past, where most game will be released on, and without the console, we cant play the game either.
about catching up on 4K@60fps... well we all know display trending toward high-resolution, but even current high-end PC GPU even still have hard time... by in 2020, probably high-end model can do that....but hard to say if console going to use high-end GPU
the more i see with the changes, i think sony playstation isnt all about the console anymore
its more about the platform (PSN).... sony prolly can frachising the playstation brand to PC maker, although its hard to think PSN run over windows-platform

Why would they release a new console 4 years after the previous one when the industry standard is 5-7 years? "This just in thing that has never happened before continues to not happen!". Come on, this isn't news. They're confirming something isn't going to happen that nobody suggested was going to happen in the first place.

Actually i would be quite happy to see consoles going the upgrade route say every 3/4 years if it means getting a console that is more optimised and has every bit of juice sqeezed out of it, and if that helps keep the price down then that is the cherry on the cake, because i am enjoying 4k now and with that bar having been reached all they have to really do now in my view is incrementally tweak and tune the hardware, because i personally don't think we need massive all new consoles that ditch all previous content just because we are told this is the new thing, i like where they were they are going now.

1080p 60fps and stable at 60fps I will take over higher res with unstable fps, 1080p still look amazin IF it done right, console dont have power to do this, I dont think the pro or xbox one x can do this reliability. let alone 4k
