I still expect the PS5 by fall of 2019. That would be right in line with every other console generation PlayStation has had. This isn't a surprise; there are already reports that Mark Cerny's team have made the rounds a while back to meet with developers and discuss what they want in PS5. The same thing happened during PS4 development, which really helped Sony nail the design. I'd say the PS5 is about 3 years into development at this point, judging by how long PS4 was in design/development. The release is closer than many think. It won't be this year, of course, but 2019 is the prime target IMO.
Also, E3 won't be the place; Sony will hold their own special event like they did for the PS4 reveal in NYC. Mark Cerny (genius) will be there to present the details again.
