Personally, I think Sony had the weakest seventh generation of the three big hardware manufacturers in terms of software, hardware, and accessories -- at least on the console side on things.

But PS3 rebounded after a disastrous start because Sony fixed the price, buoyed its first party studios, and introduced popular features like PS Plus. Third parties continued to support the system because the audience was there (not because of gratitude), and fans continued to support the system because Playstation, for better or worse, is the most recognizable and popular video game brand in the world.
