Its not as much that Sony has better first party holdings then Nintendo as it is that they actually develop NEW ideas!
Can anyone think of a new IP from the last 20 years Nintendo has created? OK Pikmin, Ill give you that, what else? Anyone? Anyone? Exactly. Nintendo is up to Mario 10, Metroid 6, Zelda 9, Mario Kart 7, Mario Party 8 ect. They have had very few new ideas for quality franchises over the past 2 decades. With every new Nintendo system you know exactly what games you're going to get, its just a question of when. Sony has new and very cool franchises that pop up even if its sometimes hit and miss. They even have a few I really liked that haven't been developed in a while like Jet Moto or Legends of Dragoon. Heavenly Sword is also owned by Sony even if Ninja Theory isn't making the next one. They have cool new characters every few years and develop them from scratch into interesting and compelling franchises. One thing I prefer about the PS systems is I DON'T know what I'm going to get ahead of time, there are always great games like Resistance, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and LIttle Big Planet to surprise me

I agree with your Nintendo sentiment. I played the nes when I was really young and got tired of mario way back then. Hard to believe that he's still rescuing the princess!
I probably should cut sony some slack. You're right that they have the most innovative NEW IP's
