Inconsistent in quality. It's hard to think of a PS first-party franchise that hasn't turned in a bad game or two.

I gotta stick with PS2 on this. Most of the great Sony first party games arrived on PS2: Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, God of War II, The Precursor Legacy, Killzone, Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal. By comparison PS3 was weak, with only a few standout titles like Uncharted 2 and Infamous. PS4 has been even less impressive. Thankfully a lot of good third party content has filled in the blanks on PS3 and PS4.

Ratchet and Clank, Killzone are inconsistent, but which other major franchise of theirs is? God of War is very consistent in quality, Infamous has got better with each game, Uncharted has got better with each game, Gran Turismo is consistent, LittleBigPlanet is consistent.

Some of the PS2 games you mentioned are from the same franchises, and then you should mention games like God of War 3, Infamous 2, Killone 2 and 3, Uncharted 3, TLOU, GT6 on PS3. Killzone on PS2 was really a terrible game, it is easily the worst game in the series.

As for PS4, it got the best Infamous and Uncharted games, a great game like Bloodborne, other good exclusives like Driveclub and LittleBigPlanet 3 and its getting a lot of other games so its early to judge the system, but its been good so far.

Infamous has only produced one good game: the first one. They've been getting worse since then. Uncharted has been mostly good, minus the third installment, which was a mess. The first Killzone and Mercenary are good. Killzone 2, 3, and Shadowfall are all mediocre at best.

Sony just doesn't have a very good first-party track record. The ecosystem has always thrived off third party exclusives and multiplats. The PS2 is the big exception to that rule, and that's one of the reasons it's arguably the best system ever made.
