Sony is taking notes from Nintendo and Ubisoft. They want the prestige of single player games of the former and the quantity of ambitious IP's to launch every year of the latter. That's very difficult to accomplish, but that's what they're trying to do. They want to have 2 or 3 big hitters for year, so to reach this goal they need at least more than 5 franchises to cycle the launch of the games.
In 2015 they had The Order 1886 and Bloodborne, in 2016 they had Uncharted 4 and The Last Guardian, in 2017 they had Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted TLL and Gran Turismo Sport, in 2018 they're having God of War, Detroit and Spiderman, in 2019 they will probably have Days Gone, Dreams and Ghosts of Tsushima, and if not in 2019, then in 2020 TLOU part II and Death Stranding before launching PS5 alongside probably Horizon 2 or even God of War 2 (complete wishful thinking  ). If you're paying attention, each year they have been more ambitious than the year before. One step after another, they're improving each year correcting mistakes and going all in with what works for them.
I honestly do want smaller and original games like in PS2 and PS3 era too. I wish they don't forget to launch the ICOs, Journeys, Jak and Daxters, Slys, Ratchet and Clanks , but I'm not worried about that. They're probably working on it for PS5 right now.
