Analyst Hideki Yasuda from Osaka-based firm Ace Economic Research Institute in a report stated that he believes the PlayStation 5 will launch in late 2019.

Even Sony themselves have pretty much confirmed they are not ready for a new gen. Also the amount games that still have to release on PS4 seem to support that.
Whos this analyst? Is he worth listening to?
Same guy wo states that Switch will sell 25m this fiscal year, so to answer your question: "No!"
Michael Patcher's Japanese cousin who is there to correct any imbalance caused by Patchers predictions, example he forecasts 25m , patcher says 8m simply add those totals together then divide by two and you get 16.5m and with it looking like Nintendo will miss it's 20m forecast it's looking like a pretty good anti patcher defence system.
Too early, this gen still has a very profitable life left, especially for the PS4.
Yeah sure... it will launch in 2019 but could be later, totally trustworthy.
2020 is more likely even if I would prefer 2021.
As a self proclaimed analyst i would say late 2020 . :p
Sales are still good, and I don't think that Sony can really produces something that is a major upgrade from the PS4 Pro/XBox One X at a Mass Market price. Unless Sony doesn't like money, I don't see much incentive
2020 is more likely, even 2021 seems more likely.
Yeah, there's no way. PS4 may be over its peak, but PS4 will come 2020 at the earliest, probably 2021 at the latest. Likewise for the Xbox.
Hideki Yasuda . He is a joke .
I still seriously doubt it. Yeah, we’re definitely getting close to the final stretch, but PS4 still easily has two years left, especially considering Sony still has several unnanounced titles for it.
That's no argument. The PS3 peaked in 2011, the PS4 released late 2013. The PS4 peaked 2017...
PS3 was a slow burner
