Is PlayStation Just As Iconic As Nintendo?

I believe that the Playstation Brand, is at least as iconic as the Nintendo Brand, system only. The problem that I am seeing most argue in this is that you can't include the 1st party games as part of the brand.
Why not?
The games are part of the brand as much as the sales, the reason you bought PS1 want because of the console, it was because of Final Fantasy, RE, etc... PS2 was GTA, GoW, etc... Sony has always used third party support to win their battles, third party support that they got from a failed collaboration with Nintendo.
The reason people buy Nintendo is because of the games, not just the system. In terms of Iconic status, and its mascots, Nintendo has been around a long time, and their games will be that reason, even if they went third party, they would STILL be iconic.
