Hard to say tbh. Nintendo on top released the 3DS/WiiU. Although the Wii U was underpowered and had its flaws that generation still had. a lot of amazing games.
Sony at the top released the PS3 which was a really bulky/overp[riced console at launch with lackluster online gaming capabilities but over the generation their online service improved and so did their first-party output.
Microsoft at the top released the Xbox One which at launch forced consumers to buy the Kinect and had a focus on being more of an entertainment system than a gaming one. But this was short-lived as they got a new head of Xbox, dropped the Kinect after 6 months, and later in the generation, they revamped their first party and introduced gamepass.

But right now Sony is on top again and the PS5 is a pretty good console and the PS2 was a good console to follow up the PS1.

Do not limit the discussion to just the hardware, we need to view the entire business as a whole and the decisions from hardware, Sofware, services, support and games.  

I did mention most of those things besides maybe support. All 3 have been good with indies. MS with live arcade and ID@Xbox, Nintendo with showcasing indies in their directs and Sony with the support they put towards indies the last few generations.
