Imo Sony always had the IPs, Legend of Dragoon, Team Ico, Jak and Daxter, God of War, Twisted Metal etc. the problem was the 3rd party support completely overpowered and outshadowed the 1st party games, except of course GT. those IPs could never be successful because the 3rd party games just 'stole the show'.
if we look at this gen, those same studios, have shown that they can provide extremely high class offerings. i mean, what do think would have happened with Legend of Dragoon if FF7 was on the Saturn as well?? could Uncharted 2 or Demon's Souls have achieved so much success if FF, GTA, Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect were exclusive. (Ubisoft and Bioware were willing to go exclusive with Sony for those games, until the 360 came along).
Edit: Xxain, i think this partly addresses your point as well.
