Is the Xbox Brand Simply Weaker Than the Playstation Brand?

To be fair, Nintendo and Sega was pushing 3D gaming before Sony entered the fray. And we all know N64 was superior with the polygons.

When PS1 launched they made a platform that did a pretty good job pushing polygons. But people still give them way too much credit, Sony came into the industry because it was already thriving. People seem to think video games weren't popular until PS1.

best selling console before ps1 wasn't able to even outsold ps3 so yeah gaming wasn't as popular as when ps1 came

If you say so, I think you're wrong. Gameboy sold 118 million units by the way. SNES, Genesis, Turbo 16 accounted for about 100 million units. So a lot of gamers already existed even before Playstation.

Playstation was merely a good piece of hardware in an already thriving market. But its the 3rd parties that really brought people to Playstation, this is a fact.

I was talking about home consoles
Who said 3rd parties is not the reason Playstation was popular,Xbox is selling well even if ps4 outsell it because of 3rd party too,Nintendo home consoles is selling bad because there's no third party support

So Gameboy doesn't matter? Maybe we should give it some credit for making gaming fans. Instead people tend to give more credit to Playstation.

Right, 3rd parties would have made other platforms successful if PS1 didn't exist. Hence, the industry would have been fine without Playstation. That's all I'm saying. However, I believe compeition is a good thing so I'm glad Playstation does exist. Some people don't want Xbox to exist but they clearly make Sony work harder.
