This is true when it comes to the commercial success of their games.
Sony only had the Gran turismo games sell over 10 million until 2009.

I think that was true for most game companies back then. 10+ million selling franchises were the exception, not the rule for most major publishers. 

People are trying to apply modern sales standards to the gaming market of the past when they're clearly not applicable. 

They still had amazing games that were critically acclaimed back then that were also decent sellers- Ratchet, jak, Sly, Killzone, Shadow of the colossus, God of war, Socom, litte big planet, Infamous, Resistance and many more that i can't think of right now.

 But when you're comparing 1st party, you have bring up Nintendo. 

Nintendo's got a ton of IP that sell well over 10 million and they've had that since the late 90's. Vs Sony's one IP (Gran Turismo).

That's what makes people say that Sony 1st Party weren't that big compared to that of Nintendo's.

That's no longer the case.
