While I agree that they don't have a behemoth like Pokemon and Mario as far as licensed merchandising, they HAVE recently revamped the way they handle merchandise. Perhaps we'll see more prominent things in in the calm before the next-gen storm, or just after launch?
I personally own an Aloy statue, and a Thunderjaw statue, each bought separately and not with the game. I also have a replica of the Leviathan axe from God of War.
Aside from that, I have a bunch of PS brand merch, including shirts, PS1 wallet, PS buttons hat, PS buttons lamp, keychain, muc, etc.
Sony partners with companies like Merchoid and Insertcoin for loads of their IPs as well, along with stuff available on the PlayStation Gear store.
So yes, they absolutely do generate some revenue from The Last of Us (even pt 2 merch is available), Horizon, God of War, and Spider-Man PS4 (specifically).
