Speaking to GamingBolt recently, IDC analyst Lewis Ward said that both Microsoft and Sony’s systems will be fully revealed at the E3 2020 but the launch will be later in 2021.
He further says that there are chances that both PS4 and Xbox One will get a “modest hardware refreshes” in 2019 attached with “a slate of AAA exclusives” for the two systems.
When asked whether he thinks 2019 would be the right time for the next generation revelation, Ward stated: “Not if 2019 gets a modest hardware refresh, as I expect from Microsoft and Sony, and sees a middle-of-the-road slate of AAA exclusives.”
