So many PS4 games have female leads

None to crap on the OP but that's only 7 games. Think of the astronomical number of games with male leads. I mean, you're only pointing out the number of games that have a female lead because it's not a common thing. Were it so common it would be unremarkable.

This reminds me of a back & forth I had with a guy on about Uncharted 4. He was pissed because Nadine is an unstoppable force who pretty much kicks both Nate's and Sam's asses each time she meets them. This guy said he's sick of these female characters who can just beat up men all willy nilly. I told him that I do understand his frustration, however, why have I known him to play Uncharted for 10+ years now and have never heard him complain that a single treasury hunter (not a trained mercenary like Nadine) can dispatch whole armies by himself? How 'bou 'deh?

Yes, but it's seven rather higher profile games.  And don't forget to include the ones I've pictorially mentioned.

I'm fine with that. Why do we have to keep them low profile? Doesn't really matter. I don't even really think about that when I play. Also, it's not like the female character ever has to "save her lover" like most male characters. Either she's saving the world or saving a child. I think this is done because devs know there are some dudes who just can't play a girl who's saving her boyfriend/husband. I think that's kind of silly. I mean, how come we accept sexy Androids and bikini-clad Knights but can't accept a girl main character who can be a real soldier in an actual military uniform.
