They should only do that if its releasing like Feb 2020 or earlier. No point announcing PS5 during a holiday season when PS4 could still be selling well. It wouldn't be much of an impact, but announcing PS5 before the holiday sales are done would hurt the PS4 at least somewhat.
Holiday sales will be notably down and largely rely on promotions anyways, just like the rest of the year. Also look at how investors reacted after this quarters results. Imagine how they'll react during an entire year of dropping sales, with no information on the future given.

The rumor is that the original plan was to release the PS5 in 2019, which was then pushed back due to several factors (sales of the PS4, software...), so I would not be surprised if Sony decided to release the PS5 next spring but would be shocked if Sony attempted to drag out this entire year without talking about next gen.
