I'd welcome a PS5 in 2019, as long as it plays PS4 titles it will allow me to completely skip PS4.
It feels too soon for PS5 but I wouldn't mind if this rumor was true.
I think Nintendo will just about hit their 20 million target. Maybe slightly above, but not 25 million. I hope they're right though.

Wow! I just watched Michael Pacther earlier this weekend that Nintendo was only tracking to sell 8 million units.
If it has PS4 backwards compatibility then I wouldn't mind. If it doesn't then I wouldn't see any reason to get a PS5 in 2019.

No, Nintendo will not hit 25 million, I don't even think they hit 20 million (I think they hit 18 million, and after Q3, that is what they revise their forecast downwards to).
Software sales hitting 140 million, I can easily see, however.

PS5... I think late 2019 is the date a lot of people are settling on, but according to the rumor mill, development on the system does not seem to be far enough along for it to actually come out 2019 (or do I have this wrong?)

No gosh darn way the PS5 is coming out next year. The Switch can't do that, but than again who effin' knows. Pokemon is massive, and Smash is looking to be the best selling of the franchise.
Okay fine, sounds good.
Now when will the Dreamcast 2 launch? That's what we really want to know.

Split the difference, it'll end up at 17
Surprised they're bullish on Pokemon to that extent... Guess we'll see
Would also love ps5 in 2019 but Id be surprised if it was

lol, it'll sell 8 million in November
It's not hitting 20 million either
I'm just saying I wouldn't be blown away, not that it's the likely outcome.
That's just it. They never seem to show their work on this one. 2020 makes sense when you look at the tech that will most likely be in the system.
Hell no to both of these. Not as hot of a take as Patcher's 8 mill, but 25 mill seems far too high. I'm not sure they'll even meet the 20 million goal, but we shall see.
PS5 should definitely be no earlier than 2020. We have Days Gone, TLOU2, and Ghosts for 2019ish, which seems far too packed to release just ahead of the PS5. I can see Death Stranding being multiplatform, but not so much for the other three.

18m is closer to 25m than 8m
No, technically it is possible. But many believe they don't have need to rush it.

You know why I am not a math major?
There's literally no way PS5 hits in 2019. I'm fairly sure this is the first hardware cycle where a market leader saw YOY growth in year 5. Why the hell would they drop that next year?
Nah, the PS4 is still going very strong and they have no pressure to release the next Playstation. I love how there is nothing to indicate a PS5 launch next year but these analysts believe it will based on past console launch life cycles. They fail to take into account the PS4 Pro is the first PS midgen upgrade and that alone has extended the life of the PS4.
