Okay, 3DS in 2013 is maybe a better example: Pokémon X&Y, Tomodachi Life, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Monster Hunter 4, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Yokai Watch, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Fire Emblem Awakening, Donkey Kong Country Returns...

Again, PS4's 2018 may turn out to be better than this, but so far it doesn't seem like it will.

You can remove the games that got released in Japan only in 2013, Monster Hunter, Tomodachi Life and Yokai Watch, from the list. It’s a good list that remains but, come on, you have a couple of yearly franchises and a port with 3D in there. And I think the variety in a list also matters.

The fact that these three games only released in Japan in 2013 doesn't really make a lot of a difference, it just make 2014/2015 for the West slightly better. The only franchise that is sort of yearly is Pokémon, but a completely new Pokémon game like X/Y only releases every few years. Donkey Kong Country Returns is indeed a port, but so is Shadow of the Colossus. The variety isn't a problem either: there's a turn-based RPG, simulation game, action-adventure, platformer, action RPG and turn-based strategy.
