This actually gives some perspective.

PS4 has only received mainline titles from 8 of these 30 best selling franchises and as you say 0 from the top 10.

I'm not expecting PS2 numbers at all but it'll be interesting to see how much PS4 will benefit from these big games.

 

A lot of the biggest games will release within 12 months.

Final Fantasy XV - November 29, 2016
Yakuza 6 - December 8, 2016
Resident Evil 7 - January 26, 2017
Tekken 7 - Early 2017
Dragon Quest XI - 2017
Gran Turismo Sport - 2017
Hot Shots Golf - 2017
Kingdom Hearts 3 - 2017
Gundam Versus - 2017

Between all of these games, the PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, PSVR, and NX, Japan is going to be a console hot bed next year. Consoles are not dieing in Japan, they have just been on vacation. PS4 and NX are going to put a major dent in the sales of western and korean smartphones and tablets. 

I also belive we will see a next gen PlayStation Handheld, and the 1st real PlayStation Phone next holiday, both running every game from the PS4 library at 540p checker boarded to 1080p. Sony and Nintendo will reclaim Japan, and double to triple previous console/handheld marketshare across the rest of the world. The Apple and Google duoply will fall from their godly positions, and give consumers choice in the mobile and home markets once again. 



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
