1) Its case by case. 2) Sales can vary based on size of userbase, audience interest, marketing, etc.
I just played Sunet Overdrive and its pretty damn good. But it likely did poor due to both small userbase and lack of interest from the Xbox audience. The game itself is quality stuff and could have been a hit on PS4.
Now The Order could have been a multi million selling IP already... if Sony made something at par with Gears of War. Instead its found its place in obscurity and the bargain because it sucks.
3) Killzone and Infamous have respectable numbers on PS4 but could have performed better if Sony delivered better games.
4) As Ive said many times before people arent buying PS4 for its exclusives. The people buying PS4 want 3rd party multiplat games. X1 has the superior attach rate on exclusives. Again, Sony needs to make better exclusives and I expect that to happen in 2016.

1) You come here and pass judgement in quality based on your individual opinion, which is just one. You want to come here and say when a game deserved more sales and when a game doesn't based on whether you like it or not. Proved by point number 3.
Either the best selling console/videogame is always the best one, or you can't discard other possible explanations like you do in point number 3 and must accept COD and Gran Turismo superiority over Halo and Forza, you can't make exception out of your own convenience and personal enjoyment of games.
2) Point number 2 makes sense and it is pretty much the explanation behind videogame sales, not perceived quality. When it comes to videogames quality, people buy certain videogames because of personal interest, and in certain occasions a whole lot of people coincide and share interest for certain games in particular for various reasons, other games which may be very good may fade into the bottom of the sales pit in spite of how good they are. Sales don't determine the quality of videogames.
4) People are buying PS4 for it's exclusives. Sony has made a brand with blood and sweat over the years and people bet on PlayStation. The strnegth of PS allowed Sony to make the greatest comeback in the history of videogames and has allowed them to get back on top of the videogame console sales. They have grown a big fanbase which is there and has allowed them to be the dominant console in almost every generation throughout Sony's videogame history. PlayStation fans know their favorite exclusives came and are coming.
