I think every console manufacturer wants to get at least some of their biggest system sellers out in the first few years, because of momentum.

Sony is the only one that does it differntly.
Brand trust is there, they can sell them without their big bangers out... they instead like to end a gen on a High Note.

PS4 first ~1,5 years its 1st party wasn't as strong as the Xbox's (gens last 7years+ though).
The thing is after that 1,5year its been PS4 > XB1, in terms of software output.

But some games have so much going into them, whether it's photo realistic graphics or motion capture, etc, that they take a lot longer to finish than some other games.

True, Sony and Microsoft do a similar thing. But I think it's especially noticable with Nintendo since most of their main series are only one per system, whereas Sony or Microsoft may try to put out sequels on the same system, at least that was the case last generation where Naughty Dog managed to put out 3 Uncharted's in the span of 4 years.

Sony usually ends strong instead.

How many new successfull IP have Microsoft had this gen? How many Sequels to them on the same system?
I dont agree with you on this part.... that isnt Microsoft.... well theres a New Forza every year... too the point its probably hurting the IP.
