And why would Nintendo only announce third party games that are releasing late 2018 into 2019? Because they have nothing else in development for the period in between. Announcing games that have just started development (or is not even in development) is a terrible strategy that doesn't make any sense. It means the third party situation may be even worse than the Wii U. 

The 3rd party situation for PS4 must be bad considering Kingdom Hearts 3, Shenmue 3 & Final Fantasy 7 Remake were announced years in advance..........

Bad example. Kingdom Hearts 3 and FF7R are both made by Square Enix, which had to delay FFXY for more than 10 years. This says nothing about PS4, but rather development problems at SE. Shenmue III also has been in development hell for 10 years due to commercial failures of the prequels. 

Nintendo is the one who decided to announce games that are barely in development. Atlus and Suda51 were INVITED to announce their non-existing game. The games you mentioned were not announced by Sony, but by the developer itself.
