Part of the reason playstation characters don't have as much relevance as nintendo characters is that they don't have nearly the amount of games their nintendo counterparts have. How many games with mario were released in the past 3 years alone. The only series that follows that model on the ps3 is ratchet and clank and those games have been going downhill for the past few titles- not to mention the lack of promotion from sony.

What makes Nintendo's legacy almost unmatchable is the company's consistency, whether someone likes Mario, Zelda and so on or not the games are still maintaining 90+ averages even after over 30 years of the company being in the industry, the flaw in saying that the are more games is that games like Zelda for instance only have 14 installments over 27 years while in the same time Metroid only has 11 titles, in the last decade we've had 7 GOW titles, 10 Halo games and 12 Ratchet and Clank games. Think of a game like Last of Us now think of a company pumping out games of that calibur for decades across different eras of gaming and that's the type of legacy we're talking about, the Ratchet and Clank point you bring up highlights Nintendo's consistency and handling of their library.
