Sony's PlayStation 4 has been the king of consoles since its launch, but in the last months of 2014 Microsoft broke through the PS4's long lead in sales, even winning Black Friday sales in the U.S.

However, Sony's exclusives for 2015 might keep gamers active on the console, alongside drawing new gamers into the fray. Sony exclusives tend to mean more, since they do not usually come to the PC alongside the console.

1. No Man's Sky

"No Man's Sky" is one of the most anticipated titles of 2015 on all platforms. Hello Games has revealed a gargantuan sized world, all procedurally generated, with elements of space battles and spore-like terraformation.

This could be the game of the new console era, or it might fade into nothingness like Spore and more recently Watch Dogs - both hyped as the next step in video games.

2. The Order: 1886

Often mixing video games with movie-like cutscenes and dialogue isn't a good fix, but "Ready at Dawn" seems to have a palatable mix to keep gamers on the edge.

"The Order: 1886" follows the Knights of the Round table, in an alternate version of Victorian London, where The Order fight against the halflings infesting the city.

3. Bloodborne

From Software made its name for the Dark Souls series, two games with extremely hard boss battles, and "Bloodborne" looks to be a new IP with the same hardcore attributes.

First previews of "Bloodborne" show the same meaty combat we're used to in the Dark Souls series, but with new weapons and bosses to mix up the combat.

4. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

The "Uncharted" series has always been a fan favorite on PlayStation, and "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" looks to be the big spectacle to show off the power of the PS4.

"Naughty Dog" has been having internal issues over 2014, but hopefully the group involved with Uncharted 4 hasn't seen major layoffs that would affect the final product.

5. Abzû

In 2013, "Journey" was released as a 3-hour indie title, and from out of nowhere people fell in love with the simplistic yet gorgeous design, winning it game of the year awards.

Azbû looks to offer the same gorgeous aesthetic, this time developed by Giant Squid (with some help from thatgamecompany), and also offer a deep exploration into the underwater, with more dialogue and mechanical identity.
