Looking at it so far? Recovering their greatness? No.
Screwing it up slightly less then the other two? Probably.
Everything could still change by release, and who knows how the things will actually be received....
but so far. Sony looks like a kid who returns to straight A's because his History class is on a curve and one of his classmates turned in their work early without a fully formed concept on his idea, and the other turned in a paper that was on the quantum physics of black holes.
That is of course that it turns out the sony DRM isn't identical to the 360 DRM. Which I have an odd feeling it is, and Sony is just waiting to let MS take all the heat... going out of their way to bat down the idea of a DRM that microsoft explained wrong. When they both have the same DRM that is different from what everyone thought MS described due to the "Always on console" being conflated with "Always online." (When instead the DRM is sometimes online, and you can play your games offline (but they have to be authenticated and checked online, but this is where the PR dodging would come in.)
As it is, functionality wise, I actually think all three next gen consoles are a step backwords from last gen. So it'd be hard for me to argue anyone is recovering to form.
The wii tablet wasn't functionally well thought out, and it's undue expense ignored.... and the Xboxone... could still win the generation. Though it may win it due to it's non game issues. It's just a matter of how much the proffessor likes quantum physicis.
