It can do it, but I have my doubts.
Last year, the system got:
Final Fantasy XV
Persona 5
Yakuza 6
Dark Souls 3

I mean, when it comes to big Japanese franchises (that aren't Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Mario.... or many Nintendo franchises for that matter) it doesn't get much more jam packed than that. And yet, it STILL couldn't do it.
Yes, it got momentum, but how long will that momentum last?

This year, it has Dragon Quest XI, which is a huge title, but it's also launching on 3DS at the same time, with a Switch version due later down the pipeline. And God knows when Gran Turismo will be ready.
It can do it, but it will need plenty of momentum going for it, and not just legs and launches of big titles.
It'll need price cuts of some models (mainly the Pro) and special bundles as well (Dragon Quest XI PS4 Bundle could easily sell like hotcakes).
