Sony needs big titles like DQVIIIR, DQXI, MH5, FFVIIR, a new AAA JRPG, etc exclusive to their system and coming sooner rather than later if they want the PS4 to have any type of success in its homeland.

However, being experienced in the game, I know their 'big' titles will be Yakuza 6, Misou, MNG7. While these are nice and complimentary, they won't change the PS4's fortunes and IMHO, Sony shouldn't even bother.

They need third parties on board first and foremost, there is no one game that can save the PS4 in Japan and there aren't a couple that can do it on their own either.

So they should definitely bother with things like Yakuza 6 and a new Musou and all that stuff, while of course also working on getting the real big hitters, it's all important an the whole package decides the PS4s fate in Japan.

I agree with what you're saying, but if Sony is only gonna bother with mid and low tier JP games from publishers and not the real heavy hitters, then they might as well not bother.  Everything is important, and most important is a constant flow of low-mid games; however, the heavy hitters are what really drives system sales and are extremely important for the PS4 if Sony wants it to have any sort or relevance in JP.
