Is PS4 bringing back once sucessful companies that were severely affected on the 7th gen?

You're seeing what you want to see OP. If anything we are feeling the effects of last gen. Big studios working on big games, while indies do their thing, and mid-tier now pretty much dead.

Costs for development haven't gone down, they've gone up, and it's riskier to launch games.

The PS4 is continuing where the Xbox 360 left off, with of course better Japanese support. Although, with Japanese console devs hedging their bets on the struggling PS4 in Japan, I'm not too sure that'll work out well. When FF and MGS hits or maybe DQ, we'll see if it can recover.

The era of PS!/PS2 variety in console games is long gone. There are a few indie devs bringing some stuff back, but its them mostly mining nostalgia even worse than Nintendo does.

The 360's marketshare was primarily based off the marketshare Sony built themselves off of Nintendo. Microsoft hasnt built the industry as much as those two companies have. Third party games tend to be more abundant especially in an exclusive sense on Sony consoles and if you look at the past consoles that is a huge indicator. The sales have a greater spread amongst genre.
