Sony has purposely not had too many MP only endeavors in their coffers of Exclusives this gen, and it strangely has given them an advantage. I will explain.

Alot of people that do well in bussiness will all tell you..... you dont make it big, by doing or following, what everyone else is doing.
If you see your competitor and tons of 3rd party, all start to focus on multiplayer centric games, it leaves a opening for other titles (that arnt multiple player focused).

Also Sony has always been about these Player driven Story focused games, its not a accident, its a choice imo.
Its their identity.

What Sony has done is identified their strength, Single Player Story Driven gaming, and doubled down on it in a climate that wasn't concentrating on that even tho the fanbase still wants it. Meanwhile they have identified their weakness, MP gaming, and have wisely utilized their market pull to get the biggest MP game developers aligned with them.

PS4 must have like 60%+ market share at least of all Multiplat multiplayer games sold. Games that sell 5-20 million on their console alone. Sony will make royalties from that but also the money from these games excessive Microtransactions. 

Now that I am thinking about it, it would be usueful to pull the actual numbers of these game's sales on PS4 vs their own personal outings.
