Nothing in the magnitude of Metal Gear Solid. Dragon Age is not a huge deal on Playstation compared to MGS, Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy. Arkham City has done well but Arkham Knight will probably sell a lot less and Batman has far less impact and relevance on PS than MGS as well, Bloodborne is a lot more niche and won't sell nearly as much as MGS, Dying Light has yet to crack 1 million.
Only Far Cry 4 out of those you mentioned is provably huge, as in on the same level as MGS (and now Destiny).
Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo, and since the PS3; the Uncharted series, has been the go-to franchises for the PS brand, even when made multiplatform, these are among the games that define the entire image of Playstation. Almost every single title above MGS 4 on the PS3's top 20 best seller list are annual franchises like Assassin't Creed, CoD and FIFA, which are more tokens of the industry as a whole and not seen as the same pillars of identity for the PS brand.
So, to be more clear; MGS 5 is the first of the big three (or four) on the PS this generation, with Final Fantasy following a bit after and hopefully GT 7 sometime in 2016 or 2017.

Heavily undertracked. Has passed 5m on all platforms combined.
Other than that, can't really argue against your new wording. There have been other big releases on PS4 already such as Destiny and Far Cry, but yeah nothing that has been big on previous PS consoles yet.

I am actually shocked at how well Destiny did, I imagined it would sell roughly the same as Titanfall, especially with the fairly big issues people had with it.
But, it's always good with new franchises, there are way too many annual series dominating bestseller lists imo.
