If Sony,MS and Nintendo would lose all their best IPs unquestionably Sony would benefit the most of this. Nintendo and Microsoft both have way stronger old IPs than Sony has, Sony IPs are not bad but no one ever really bought a Playstation because of Sony IPs. Sony consoles always was successful because of the 3rd developer games. The people buy Playstations because of Fifa, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, GTA or Residen Evil. No one byes a Playstation for Killzone, Uncharted or some other Sony crap Games. Sony games have no mass appeal, they never created IPs where people really was interested in.

And there is the difference to the other two companys, the Xbox only survived because of halo, fable,forza and gears of war this are all really strong IPs and almost all of this brands exist since the first xbox. Microsoft would have no success without Halo.

And this story matters even more for Nintendo, no one could ever imagine Nintendo without Mario, Zelda or Pokemon. This brands exists almost 30 years. No one would buy a Nintendo console without nintendo games.

The only console which could be succesfull without exclusive first party games is the playstation and the reason for this is that people never bought playstations because of Sony games.
