Yes, some not so smart things from MS meant they didn't completely bury Sony / PS brand, which was quite possible. Though MS couldn't have done it alone, Wii's success was pivotal to the potential total downfall of the PS brand. Sony certainly pulled off an almost miraculous recovery, it wasn't totally miraculous because MS left the door slightly open.
I don't think EA / Activision would have paid much attention to MS's arguments about Xbox brand needing to be strong if Sony had aced the launch of PS3.
Nintendo was really the only one who really aced it with their console, though it aged fast and it's end of generation performance has fallen away.
So no one really had the perfect gen.
