glad to know my assumption of boost mode being a PS5 feature has some legs

Here's my reasoning for 2020 over 2019 for a PS5:
1. the entire point of the PS4 Pro was to allow them to stretch the gen again, even though people said Gen 7 lasted too long.
2. The performance boost that extra year would make is worth waiting for
3. The PS4 is selling better than they could have ever imagined, they surely have forecasted far enough to know they will surpass PS1 & Wii sales, the latter being the console they chased last gen
4. They are still developing new games and surely are in the know on 3rd party games releasing in 2019 (not that that would stop a release as we saw in 2013 but it still gives them an extra year of cushion)
5. They don't have to worry about MS beating them to market in 2019, unless MS is crazy enough to release a new box 2 years after the One X
6. 2020 is the 20th anniversary of the PS2 and they can play that up very well in marketing
7. (bonus) the extra year gives them extra time to prepare a new VR headset for 2021 which lets them continue to sell the v1 headset at cheaper prices and raise VR adoption in the mean time.

PS4 Slim will fly off the shelves, it's cheaper than competition even with 1TB HDD
