You mean just Knack. Everything else is doing fine (in regards to launch titles).

Killzone has taken a drop from its two previous iterations.

It's two previous iterations also weren't launch titles. For that matter, we should go look at all franchises who's reviews scores have "taken a drop" (again, and which were launch games - since this does make a difference). You'd be surprised to find out who they were and how little it mattered.

That's beside the point though, sub-zero-TM said it wasn't looking good for PS4 exclusives review wise and I agree that both Knack and Killzone fell short of expectations.

It isn't besides the point at all. What he said makes sense, yes, but I offered a perspective. Conolse launches are usually like this.

Oh my god, this! So much this!

Launch games are hardly ever reviewed or regarded very highly, for gods sake they're a bunch of games on new hardware that are all rushed to meet the launch. It is not surprising!!! Seriously that is why you don't buy a console at launch unless you just extremely crave a new toy to play, launch games are almost always mediocre, wait a couple months/ a year and you'll really see what you can expect on the console.

Notable exceptions are the Nintendo home consoles (excluding Wii U/Gamecube) which all had one game at launch that seriously defined the console and the original Xbox which had Halo.
