Yeah, each game doing ~200k and KHIII doing ~1m would be fine but they arent going to create any massive YOY gains because the last 2 years had a bunch of 100-400k selling games along with a massive ~1 million seller as well.

One Piece likely wont sell anywhere close to the first Pirate Warriors which is by far the best selling game in the series history. Most games in the series sell closer to 300-400k.

 

Monster Hunter is the only game capable of giving massive gains and we already saw what type of gains in caused, about 200k.

Then I guess a price cut is in order to reach a good portion of those gains this year ... 

I still think PS4 is too expensive to realistically succeed the Vita in Japan. The system needs at least $50 reduction and Sony really needs to convince some of the developers to drop the Vita so that they can make PS4 only games to improve the technical quality and craftsmanship of these games ... (not asking them to make AAA games but just games that can only be realized with a powerful home system) 

If PS4 ever does reach $200 then a trade-off in portability might become a whole lot more worthwhile to customers in exchange for higher end games. Aside from that Sony will have to rethink a new strategy as their running out of strong IPs in Japan to push hardware sales any further. What they have left is God Eater, FFVIIR, Grand Theft Auto and maybe Gran Turismo so adapting IPs from mobile games into AAA games would be swell approach too IMO ...
