Remember back in 2012/13 or so when every month we'd get triple A releases on PS Plus.

So, 5-6 years after the PS3 launched. I expect by 2018-2019 we'll be in the similar situation for PS4 PS+ games.

Wouldn't be so sure. When PS Plus launched the IGC was one of the main incentives to get the subscription, as you could play online without PS Plus and so there was  significantly more incentive for Sony to put big games on PS Plus. Now when PS Plus is mandatory to play online, there is less incentive for them to do that. I do expect there to be more major games on PS Plus over time, as more games are released, but it will never reach the 2012/13 levels. I copied the major AAA games from a year of PS Plus starting June 2012 and June 2013 to illustrate (excluded indies and smaller games), I highly doubt we'll see anything even close to that kind of lineup. A note that PAL had more major games than NA in those timeframes, even though NA had quite a good lineup as well. I would speculate that is due to lower PS Plus adaption rates in Europe hence they needed to create more incentive than in NA, where more people subscribed to PS Plus.
