I would say Nintendo's first party last gen about equal to Sony. Ninty wins the gen before that. In the PS1 days, Sony didn't really have a first party. |
In the ps1 days Sony formed Polyphony Digital, Team ICO, most of Sony Japan, and Sony Santa Monica/Incognito. They also formed or purchased 989 studios (can't recall which). And they bought Psygnosis, now know as Sony Liverpool. Naughty Dog was purchased right at the transition between generations, in 2000 I believe. Maybe early 2001.
Sony had a rather robust first party in the ps1 days, and it was the foundation for what they have now. The issue with Sony's first party is that their games were always lost in a see of third party titles. It's only this generation that Sony has tried to make a name for themselves, because they desparately need to. Sony's first party efforts aren't much larger now than they were last gen, excluding PSN stuff, but people in general seem to *think* they're doing more this gen than last.
