Numbers don't lie. Nintendo has, so far, being far more successful than Sony when it comes to 1st party software. And it's no secret that the success of Playstation platforms has historically got a lot to do with 3rd party support. Franchises like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, GTA, Tekken, and Tomb Raider, for example, which Sony fans themselves associate with the brand, for better or worse.

The ironic part being that many of those franchises are better outside of Sony. Metal Gear Solid had it's definitive version on the GameCube, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas had better graphics and ran smoother on the original Xbox. Tomb Raider ran far better on PC. Really it's only Final Fantasy, and even that is better on PC now, with the definitive version of FF7 on Steam (they finally fixed the calculation errors with the magic and spirit stats on that version).

"MGS had its definitive version on gamecube" LOL!!! That version you're talking about might be the most hated remake out there! it's not even directed by Hideo Kojima yet you call it definitive?! And who cares if Final Fantasy 7 came out on Steam a couple of decades after the original release??
Sony is easily the best in third party titles and even their first party studios are pretty comparable to Nintendo.

More fool them then. Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes is better in every conceivable way, if people at large want to hate it; go for it, no skin off my nose. It's them that are missing out.
I will agree that Sony has some of the best third party titles ever made, though I think you're severely underestimating the appeal and lasting value of Nintendo's first party. Remember, Nintendo has practically had to live off first party with little to no support from third party for close to a decade now. They are masters of it, and not even Sony comes close.
