The only ones confirmed are FInal Fantasy, Persona and Kingdom Hearts. Dragon Quest has just as good a chance of releasing on the Wii U as the PS4, both of which are slim chances considering the history of the series releasing on popular Japanese platforms. Persona 5 is a PS3/PS4 multiplat. There is nothing to indicate that Monster Hunter will come to the PS4.
Japanese sales for the announced PS4 games predecessors:
FInal Fantasy XIII - 1.8 mil
Kingdom Hearts II - 1.38 mil (but last new console release was ten years ago.) The series has declined on handhelds.
Persona 4 -360k
Japanese sales for top 5 Wii U games in Japan:
New Super Mario Bros U. - 1.23 mil
Mario Kart 8 - 900k
Wii Party U - 810k
Super Mario 3d World - 630k
Super Smash Bros U - 590k
I think it is a bit early to pretend that those games will change the PS4's situation in Japan, as we've seen with the WIi U that this didn't happen with games of similar sales. Plus KHIII seems like it will be a late-gen release, and Persona 5 is a multiplat. Final Fantasy XV is the only game that should make a big difference, other than DQ:Heroes (which should also sell a decent amount.)
Meanwhile the Wii U has plenty of future releases that should do well in Japan too. I'll bold a few.
Future Wii U releases
Mario Party 10 (Mario Party 9 sold 750k in Japan, Mario Party 8 sold 1.58 mil.)
The Legend of Zelda ( 3D Zeldas sell about 700k in Japan.)
Animal Crossing U (City Folk sold 1.32 Mil in Japan)
SMT X Fire Emblem ( Radiant Dawn sold only 170k, but the Fire Emblem series just had a rejuvination in sales, the last game selling 520k in Japan.)
Xenoblade Chronicles X (Xenoblade Chronicles sold 170k in Japan, but it looks like the successor should sell more as it is getting a lot more of a media push.)
Yoshi Wooly World ( Yoshi sells about 200k to 1 mil in Japan depending on the game.)
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Kirby sells about 300k.)
All of these games sell at least as well as Persona games do, so you can't disregard them.
Also considering how they're not all RPG's, like the aforementioned PS4 lineup they will target more diverse audiences.
