There have been many rumors and predictions about the release of the PlayStation 5 and next generation Xbox in recent months. Several analysts are predicting they will launch at the end of 2020.
Analyst Yasuo Imanaka of Rakuten Securities is saying it is unlikely the PlayStation 5 will launch in the next fiscal year, which runs from April 2020 to March 2021.
He says it is more likely to launch the following fiscal year that runs from April 2021 to March 2022. This points to a release in holiday 2021, a year later than most analysts have been predicting.
He added there was no chance it would launch before March 2020.

99% for 2020 !
Unless they are waiting for better tech, no way.
I'd bet that it is released before the end of 2020. But, I wouldn't be totally shocked if it ends up being 2021. PS4 is still selling well, and, more importantly, is moving tons of software. Sony certainly wants to ride that out as long as possible, just not so long that it puts them at a big disadvantage next gen. They'll certainly try very hard to figure out exactly where the tipping point is there.
I disagree, no later than 2018.
I think Nov 2020 is pretty likely but i could see it being released arround march 2021. There is plenty of software announced for the PS4 and they definitely want to get rid of that while developing new stuff for the next generation to give a reason to upgrade.
