Hmm... why do I prefer Nintendo's games to Sony's? Easy- Nintendo makes games that I can pick up and go, and their other games are the ones that really have a better way of invoking me. I personally find the Fire Emblem series better than anything Sony USA has to offer. The problem I have with Sony (and Microsoft for that matter) is that they've fallen into the 'only M games are good' trap. In my eyes, a good M-rated game is hard to find. A few M-rated games are good and deserve it (Persona 4, Drakkengard), but most, including many of Sony's offerings, are merely trying to push the lines of sex and violence, with nothing actually mature. Though the biggest violator is GTA, that's for another time.
Yes, Sony has games in pretty much every genre. But that's also not necessarily a plus. There's the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none." Many of Sony's games just don't show the polish that Nintendo titles show. Sure, LBP has some good ideas. But it just doesn't hold people as well as NSMBWii; that's what Nintendo's polish does. I'd say that there's probably a bit more polish in Sony Japan, but Sony USA seems afraid to bring some over. Sony's RPGs, for instance, are being done by other companies- take Atlus with Demon's Souls. While trying new things isn't a bad idea, doing it too much will spread your resources thin, reducing the total polish you can do. This will make the overall games good, but not great. And with the number of games out there, I want a great game. For me, Sony isn't able to deliver on this. Yes, Nintendo has some misses also, but I'm more apt to trust something with the Nintendo name.
