Ahhh, I see. Your assessment of Sony is correct. The reason I say their line-up isn't great is that it's not strong enough to push consoles on its own and Sony still relies heavily on third parties. Where they are better than Microsoft is they have more than Halo and Gears and they at least come up with moderate hits each generation; the issue is they may not stick around for very long (Killzone is one such example). 

I like that, though. Sony always brings something new to the table. Makes each PlayStation feel unique, but most of their properties are strong enough to return for more. And Killzone got a much needed break. They don't have a major history of running properties into the ground. 

There isn't anything wrong with making new stuff and more power to you if your happy with Sony's method. My criticism is you also need to be able to maintain a series for more than a generation or two. One of Sony's vulnerabilities is if third parties find an alternative. This hurt the PS3 as companies just made for the cheaper 360 as well and hurt the Vita as development resources were siphoned from the 3DS. God of War will be a real test because we'll see if Sony is able to revitalize a once successful but dormant series. Of course, this may be a topic for another thread.
