I've put no effort whatsoever in matching these games other than according to the genre they have on Wikipedia.
I'm not saying Uncharted (third person shooter), God of War (hack and slash), The Last Guardian (puzzle), and Detroit Become Human (interactive drama) are very similar games (as is shown by the sub-genres I've assigned them). I'm not saying Gran Turismo Sport and Driveclub are very similar either (I literally only listed them as racers). Feel free to match them however you want. That's not even close to be the point of my comment.
I'm saying that Sony has mastered this vast action adventure genre, and now I hope to see something similar to Ape Escape, Legend of Dragoon, Forza Horizon, or something entirely new.
Though regarding Bloodborne, are you saying that Japanese developers can't make an action RPG, a tactical RPG, etc. because an RPG from Japan will simply always just be an JRPG? That sounds pretty silly, don't you think? You can argue that JRPG is a main genre covering all RPGs made in Japan but just as easily argue that JRPG is a specific sub-genre covering games like Chrono Trigger, Pokémon, old school Final Fantasy, etc. Many people see Dragon's Dogma as the best "WRPG" made by a Japanese developer because it has many of the traits historically found in RPGs made in the West.

And why using wikipedia classification plus lumping such diverse games together is logical?

Because it's not in anyway close to being the point of my post. I'd just be wasting time trying to sort them myself. Match them however you want.
The point is, I (ME, PERSONALLY) hope to see a game like Ape Escape, Legend of Dragoon, Forza Horizon, or something entirely new as one of Sony's next projects.

Bold: Yeah, me too.
Titles below (not counting remakes/remasters and PSVR) are most of the games they've published this gen (and some upcoming).
Sony has mastered the action adventure genre (both linear and open world) and now I hope for a platformer (like Ape Escape), a Japanese RPG (like Legend of Dragoon), and an open world racer (like Forza Horizon).
Action adventure (linear): God of War + Uncharted 4 + The Order 1886 + Detroit Become Human + The Last Guardian (+ The Last of Us Part II)
Action adventure (open world): Spider-Man + Infamous Second Son + Gravity Rush 2 (+ Ghost of Tsushima + Days Gone + Death Stranding)
Western RPG: Horizon Zero Dawn
Action RPG: Bloodborne
First person shooter: Killzone Shadow Fall
Racing: Gran Turismo Sport + Driveclub
Sport: MLB The Show + Everybody's Golf
Platform: Ratchet & Clank + LittleBigPlanet 3 + Knack + Knack 2
Sandbox: (Dreams)
Arcade: Alienation + Helldivers
Puzzle: Entwined (+ Concrete Genie)
Party: SingStar + The Playroom

Well the list you have put up looks very impressive but in all of those genres, the number of games sony has this gen is so much less than the ps3. So i would really like sony to focus AAA love and money into these games.
A good FPS is a no-brainer. I agree with you about the jrpg. And i would lime more R&C totake care of the platform genre. For open world racers-sony made a mistake in shutting down Evolution Studios. Barring Driveclub, they had been doing pretty well in this department.

I'm sad about Evolution as well. Driveclub being the best looking game ever, those devs were f-ing magicians.
Agree about the FPS. If given as much attention and love as e.g. God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn, it'd be really interesting to see them tackle the FPS genre again.
