"Deserves victory" is perhaps hyperbolic. I'm not sure any console manufacturer really "deserves" victory.
As a consumer, I'm satisfied with my PS4. It is exactly what I wanted out of a gaming console. It will have the kind of support that I was looking for in a console (meaning Japanese support as well as multplatform support). I don't buy Sony consoles for first party experiences; as very few, if any, Sony first party IP actually appeal to me. When most of my friends were off buying the Xbox One after its 180, I chose the PS4 because of the support that the Playstation 3 was having as opposed to the wasteland that 360 had become. The 360's JRPG library dried up after 2010 and that was one of the reasons I chose PS4, because I knew it would be getting the support that Xbox One would not have, as Microsoft stopped trying after 2009 and the Japanese market was simply uninterested in the Xbox brand.
As a prospective buyer, they absolutely did everything right by me. $100 less (not when I bought it, though), powerful enough, and focused on gaming, especially where it matters for me. Whether or not others feel the same is not my call to make. Where Microsoft and Nintendo go from here is anyone's guess. I'm assuming they're going to learn from this generation's fumbles, but you never know.
