I thought this warranted its own thread.
Bonus: DS4 is now the best selling gamepad (in dollar sales) EVER!
Man, I remember the tone and the doom and gloom around the viability of dedicated console gaming before the PS4 came out. Ever since its launch, however, that narrative has quickly lost its ground.
With the PS4's present record setting success, when do you think is the ideal time for Sony to reveal and launch the PS5? Should they savor this moment or ride on it to next gen? Will the potential harm done to PS4's current tragectory be appreciable?

Edit: Forgot to add "console hardware" in the title.
