OP, I am wondering what scores you'd give Nintendo and Sony first party? Just for comparisons sake.
Nintendo has put out some gems this gen but also some big duds, which is much worse than MicroSony putting out a dud because the Wii U gets very poor third party support. So each bad/average game is a much bigger blow.
We're pretty much two years into the gen and all Sony first party has to show is Driveclub, which was a gorgeous game but otherwise pretty average. I mean, what does one decent game score you? I guess the bulk of the score here would depend on your opinion of unreleased games like Uncharted 4 and Horizon, because it surely can't be good based on the current output.
In comparisons sake I think the state of MS first party is actually quite good. I mean hell, at least they've released multiple titles of quality.

When did Infamous: Second Son cease to exist? Oh and MLB The Show, for those who like it? What quality new titles have MS' first party studios made up to now on X1 aside from Forza 5 & 6? I can't think of any.
Sonys first party studios were mismanaged and thus a lot of them are way behind on PS4 development but at the end of the day they at least exist and most if not all of them are working on PS4 titles, a lot on new IPs.

Or Killzone, or Knack, or Bloodborne (co-developed by Japan Studio), or Little Big Planet 3 (co-developed by MM), or Tearaway Unfolded....
We live in a crazy world, where Sony's games just disappeared from some people's minds!

Regarding the first two games, my post clearly said "of quality". I mean, I could run down a list of all the Nintendo/Sony studios and their games this gen as the OP did but I was going more for low hanging fruit to shorten the post. Regarding the last three, I think the thread is about first party, which none of those games are.
Anyways that comment was geared for the OP, as he rated MS a 5 I was just curious what score he'd give Nintendo, and how much lower his Sony score would be. Maybe someone should make a thread about the sorry state of Sony's first party.
I think we're seeing a clear shift from MicroSony towards moneyhatting games and contracting out lots of IP's/games to outside studios.
