By the end of this year, Sony will have released these first party titles for the year:

  • Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
  • Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
  • MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
  • Siren: Blood Curse
  • Socom: Confrontation
  • Afrika
  • MLB '08: The Show
  • NBA '09
  • SingStar
  • Buzz: Quiz TV

And these second party titles:

  • LittleBigPlanet
  • Resistance 2

In terms of 1st/2nd party support for home consoles, Sony is definitely greater than Nintendo from a sheer numerical standpoint (handhelds are another matter).  However, I'd have to say that Nintendo is better from a quality standpoint.  Zelda and Mario are certainly the best of the best in their genres.

There is also another measurment which is overall sales from each, I think Nintendo usually dominates that as well.

 

 

For some of their games (not all, of course, like AC and Nintendogs), their sales stem from name recognition rather than quality.  Zelda is my favorite series by far, but there's a reason TP broke 5 million while Okami struggled to break 200k on the two best selling platforms of all time.

The only one of Sony's franchises that has a similar brand recognition is Gran Turismo, which also sells insanley well.
