I could see it happening. Unlikely though unless FFXV and KH3 release before 2016 ends. I have no idea what impact those two games will have.

KH3 definitely won't and I doubt we'll see FFXV before late 2015.

That's exactly why I'm not sure. Square takes a long time to release their games and the longer it takes to release those two games, the more unlikely it becomes the PS4 will ever outsell the Wii U in Japan. Although, Japan is essentially a non-factor when it comes to home consoles.

Even if they did, I don't think it would help. The last big KH and FF games both barely sold 1m in Japan, and the PS4 is tracking way worse than the PS3 was in Japan, so those games will surely sell less there. Super Mario Galaxy sold about the same there, and SM3DW has sold 500K there so far. That's the kind of boost those games will give the PS4, most likely less.

Final Fantasy is a bit of special case though. The last sold poorly because no one really wanted it. A great majority were finished with Lightning and thus never bought the third game. FFXV is supposed to be the Final Fantasy game we've been waiting for a whole gen. I don't anyone can accurately guess what it'll sell.
