PS4 slim, with price reduction.
If it ever happens, The Last Guardian will be a megaton.
It is already legendary really, but if it does come out eventually, and is as good as we expect it to be, it's gonna be glorious. We live in a time where reviews and buzz can sell a shit ton of games, and The Last Guardian is almost guaranteed to have both. If it ever comes out that is.

Are you one of those people that doubted Bloodborne could sell big numbers on only one platform as well?

Feels like they have pushed back ratchet for an holiday release? Not sure if they got any AAA surprise for this holiday but they have game like Alienation, Everybody's gone to the rapture, shadow beast, Wild and many other I have forgot to mention. I'm sure some of them are 2015 release. I honestly think we will see last guardian, the moment they show it they have to have a release date just few months away and if they don't show it this year well then it is absolutely gone. Maybe an uncharted collection. Sony will mostly focus on third party games during this holiday like last year.

Yeah, that would be an excellent vaired line-up in a year in which they already have a phenomenal exclusive in Bloodborne.

Pretty sure there's at least 2 big titles we don't know about. I say lets wait for E3 then we can speculate.
I know i will be busy playing big games this fall/winter, Metal Gear alone will take most of my time. Hopefully, an Uncharted collection since Uncharted 4 is delayed. I miss some good Uncharted action, especially multiplayer, love multi in Uncharted !

Thanks for the trailer, saw the screens earlier and thought it looked fun.
There's enough to play on Ps4.

Sony will be fine.
MS practically gave away XB1 last holiday and only made up a few hundred K units (US only), which they've lost most of again already despite being a lower price.
Haven't we learned yet? Games don't sell consoles during the holidays. Giveaway sales do. At least that's what was demonstrated by the American consumer in Nov-Dec 2014. Sunset Overdrive did not sell XB1's. The bundles with 3 games and a $50 coupon for $329 did.

MS players are going to get to play it like a week earlier with EA access I believe Which interesting.
No, because of the popular of Dark Souls 1 & 2
There was a hunger for those type of games on next gen

people continue to discount (or ignore) the 'best-selling console' factor: sony simply has more people to sell their exclusives to, period. & that does, indeed, make a difference at this point, no matter which particular game we're talking about...

Tomb Raider is NOT an exclusive - its a timed partnership - it will be coming to PS4/PC later.
Sony has a partnership with EA for Battlefront.

When official Playstation accounts are tweeting images like this one, it seems pretty likely.
EA why.....should've gone it solo. You have Disney's marketing machine for Christ's sake.
OT: Sony will be fine. I simply won't believe they have nothing planned for the holidays. This worrying is uncalled for.

Why do people keep listing Ratchet & Clank for 2015? Did someone say it's coming this year?
I must have missed something.

Dick move by Microsoft is nothing to brag about.
And we're only in April, we'll know more after E3.

Especially given that they seem to be changing or have changed this aspect since last generation. I actually believe they will show something AAA to be released for holiday season at E3.
Nightengale

Yes. Insomniac and Andrew House did.
Also, the tie-in movie is coming this year. For the game to not be ready alongside the movie is like launching Battlefront next year after missing the Force Awakens hype window.

Is halo a franchise that gets overlooked now? What great 3rd party lineup are we talking about anyway?

I think I can believe it but a link to the source would be nice.
So far only the movie was announced by Andrew House for this year. Not the game.

Yes its supposed to release 1st half of 2015 alongside the film but that doesn't seem likely. So fall date sounds reasonable.
Edit:

but the OP's question is 'what does Sony have for the holidays'. Not 'what does Sony have for the holidays that meets my personally subjective opinions of quality and relevance'

Viewed from a PS4 vs. Xbox One console perspective they will have tons of exclusives.
They just won't count because they will be indies. Same as always.

Ratchet & Clank?
You realize this Sony Computer Entertainment's biggest franchise (in terms of units sold and besides Gran Turismo). Ratchet & Clank is the king of the action-platforming genre.
I'd say it's the other way around. If something like Quantum Break or Forza 6 would get released near Ratchet & Clank, it could get destroyed by Ratchet & Clank. ^.^
Ratchet & Clank will release in November or October I think. And that would be totally fine. ^.^
Ratchet & Clank is undoubtedly very likely going to be the biggest first-party exclusive game being released for any platform this holiday!! (besides Halo 5: Guardians, and maybe Tomb Raider if we count that as first-party)
This year? Nah, seems to soon.
Ratchet & Clank.
Ratchet & Clank will be bigger than any Nintendo game this year I think.
And it might be bigger than any Microsoft Studios game this year as well (besides Halo 5: Guardians).

Well let's be honest, ever since Uncharted 4 was delayed this topic of what Sony has for the holiday season has spread like wildfire. When folks ask that question, what they're really saying is "What does Sony have in their first-party roster than can compete with their main competitor Microsoft?" The third-party software for both the PS4 and Xbone will be there in droves, so the main thing that separates both systems and defines them is their exclusive content. As of now, exclusive wise - and this is obviously subject to change with E3 approaching - it's looking like Ratchet & Clank is Sony's big holiday season title. And while that game will probably (hopefully!) be good, it hasn't got nearly the same commercial prospects that a juggernaut franchise like Halo does. It's not really about catering to the same audiences but rather, what exclusive does Sony have that'll convince your average gamer out there to splash out on a PS4 rather than a Xbox One? Uncharted 4 used to be the answer to that question, but now that's not happening.
Eh, it's probably all irrelevant anyway. Sony will end up selling more systems this fall through a partnership with a third party and its game than they will through a first-party effort. Unless they release Gran Turismo 7 or something.
I think you should try to expand your horizons a little bit then and maybe consider the amazing Ratchet & Clank franchise? ^.^

yeah in the same way MCC was overlooked or looked at and then tossed in the corner.
And battlefront, black ops & victory are gonna be the biggest. metal gear too and maybe mad max as well. fifa16 is gonna be huge as well and then there is also rock band and guitar hero bringing in all dem casuals to this gen. and probably one third of the 3rd party fall lineup is yet to be revealed if it isnt more. <cough> fallout <cough>
