People are comparing Sony's 1st party games to Nintendo's, seriously
I love Sony's first party game, but they are nowhere near as good as Nintendo's. In all honest, no single publisher comes to close to Nintendo quality

Nintendo does have the best 1st party games, but Sony is not far behind in terms of quality. The one thing Nintendo has far more of is reputation. They have been producing these high quality titles for a long time, so when you hear Nintendo, you think quality--Kinda like Ghibli. Sony's absolutely great 1st party efforts are more recent, so they don't yet have that wide spread reputation of quality, but that is quickly changing.

The reason I say they are not even close is that Sony's 1st parties have never made a "must have title," outside of GT. All of those come from third party company. In fact, the best selling game on the PS3 is a third party game. Game like Uncharted, Resistance, Little Big Planet and the Ratchet and Sly games do not pull in enough people. They aren't making the customer go "Wow, I have to buy this game," or "Wow, now I HAVE to get a PS3." Nintendo can do this all the time, which is why their quality is far beyond Sony's development teams.
That not to say they suck or you can't like them, but I argue that they just lack that quality Nintendo has and the sales prove this.

lack of quality or lack of sales?

Both.
Quality and sales correlate positively. The only way you could say they do not is if you assume that customers buy bad products, which is silly. People will always buy something based on benefit. What gives the most benefit can be defined by what sells the most.
