Freedom Wars 2 for PS4/Vita
God Eater 3 for PS4/Vita
Yakuza 6 for PS4/PS3
New Hatsune Miku for PS4/Vita
Valkyria Chronicles IV for PS4/Vita (SEGA's major console game announcement)
Possibly Ni No Kuni 2 but this might be announced at a Western show given the popularity over here
Gravity Daze 2 for PS4 but I think this will also be at a Western show
And new trailers for DQXI, DQB, DQHII, Persona 5, Hot Shots Gold PS4, Ys 8
And my "out there" predictions would be
Final Fantasy X-3
Monster Hunter Musou
Resident Evil 7
Both God Eater and Freedom Wars are made by the same dev, who are also working on God Eater: Resurrection, which releases this holiday, so I doubt they'll have GE3 and FW2.
The Yakuza team has been confirmed to be working on a non Yakuza game, so probably no Yakuza 6. This is also predicted to be SEGA's major console game.

I see many ask why we think DMC5 will be announced, well, I can't speak for everyone but I personally think there are just too many signs pointing at it.
- The fact that they bothered to release DMC4SE after 7 years and after a reboot. (not to mention the new story materials in there)
- That "see you next Devil May Cry" teaser that you get after beating the game.
- Vergil's ending being him practically teasing his return
"Soon they shall know this Devil's power."
- Capcom hiring entirely new Japanese cast for DMC4SE and dubbing the whole game in Japanese for the first time in the history of series. This is a pretty big sign for DMC5, IMO.
- Capcom pushing original series everywhere. From a mobile zombie app thingy to cross promotion with Sengoku Basara and even making special drinks for DMC characters. Hell, they are even making a DMCxBASARA play.
- Itsuno avoiding DMC5 questions and just laughing instead of saying that he wants to make it (like he said a couple of times in the past)
- And last but definitely not the least, Verendus confirming that a mainline DMC is in fact in the works.
So considering everything, I think DMC5 has a good chance of being announced at TGS this year.
Do people actually believe that? So you think Capcom is gonna sit and do absolutely nothing for months or even a year, so they can see which remaster sells better? That's nuts.
I see not a single person is even hoping for Ridge Racer.
Can we have Ridge Racer 8, or perhaps even a sequel to Rage Racer (the best RR on PSX IMO) ? Use Unreal Engine 4, like Tekken 7 is. Focus on making the best looking arcade racer ever. Lose the nitrous for most of the game modes. Modernize the drift handling. Lots of new tracks. The best classic tracks get a current-gen facelift.

Japan Studio was also involved with a bunch of incubation and co-development projects the last few years. Freedom Wars, Oreshika, Destiny of Spirits, Bloodborne, Soul Sacrifice Delta, The Tomorrow Children, to name a few.
I actually find the artbook situation to be pretty interesting. Wasn't it supposed to come out this summer before it conveniently got delayed to be released after TGS?

Puppeteer and Tokyo Jungle were both hidden gems on the PS3 that many people didn't know about.
there are several posts - but this was the first time he mentioned it
'Unannounced JRPG 2' will be SCE's second attempt at a big game emulating FF. If this comes to fruition, and is successful, then there is a franchise opportunity which can be exploited. Probably the most experimental project as if it bombs, then they'll never touch anything like it again. I don't think it will though. With the advent of FF15, KH3, and the announcement of FF16 sometime between 2014-2015, Japan gamers will be ready for this. The big question mark is whether they can translate some of that success to the West which will obviously be an aim.
EDIT: My Bad. He didn't say that Sony Japan RPG will be revelead this year. Actually he said, it is such a big project, that it will be announced at an E3 show ---> so probably E3 2016
Hate to say it, but unless someone else is footing the bill, I doubt Level 5 would bother with making a HD JRPG with their own funds when they have their massive cash cow called Yokai Watch.

If we don't see Everybody's Golf I'm gonna be seriously upset. It's been a year since announce with no word whatsoever. It's one of my 'holy trinity' PS games, so my PS4 won't be complete until it comes out.

It was "announced" with basically them saying "more info in 2015."
IMO, it was a premature announcement just so that Sony 1st-party doesn't go a TGS without some sort of Japan-focused announcement, even if it wasn't ready for it.
2013 had the premature reveal of "Project Gravity", which hasn't even been officially announced. 2014 had Everybody's Golf.
I expect TGS this year to unveil them officially, and hopefully something else that isn't a tease for an actual reveal in 2016.
Reveals started weeks ago with Attack on Titan, Atlus x Vanillaware, and Tri-Ace Valkyrie Profile spiritual successor. There may be more I'm not remembering.

Persona is quite big nowadays and has a strong dedicated fanbase but I'm not sure it has the mainstream appeal of games like Dragon Quest XI, Final Fantasy VIIr and XV or Kingdom Hearts 3. If games as big as those are at TGS, maybe Persona release date could be overshadowed..

The big difference is that all of the above has a nebulous, uncertain release timing, whereas Persona 5 is a 2015 title.
You just need to look at last year's SCEJA press conference to get a sense of how "important" Persona 5 was, It was the 2nd last game of the show, just behind DQ Heroes, which, despite it being not a mainline DQ game, was a special moment because it signaled DQ's return to Playstation since... Playstation 2.
A Persona 5 announcement of PV#03, release date + bundle will easily be a strong announcement at TGS, even if bigger games are there at full force.

Literally none of the games you cited are releasing anytime soon.
And Square Enix isn't the be-all and end-all. In a Japanese convention, Persona 5 would be one of the biggest games there regardless of release dates, and that is no question, unlike a more Western focused show like E3.
Sorry I was responding to the guy above me saying PSO indicated reveals were starting early.
I'm really looking forward to more P5. If Atlus is ready for an almost simultaneous JP/NA release it would be the best news this whole year. Besides Dragon Quest XI I honestly can't see any RPG being better than this for the next few years.
Considering the list contains already announced games, there are 3 alternatives:
-It was canceled
-It will be re-announced
-it will be kept on hiatus, skipping TGS
