Really, everything has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

Nintendo has (debatably) the best first party titles as well as good third party support., but has the weakest hardware compared to the others.
Sony has been more prone to bugs, and but is very advanced and has great software support, both first and third party.
Microsoft has games and hardware almost, if not as good as Sony. Unfortunately, they put too far of an emphasis on expensive gimmicks.
PC Gaming is a much better way to introduce people to indie titles and FPS games, as well as compatibility with many mainstream games, but is very expensive to maintenance and keep up to date.

 

In my opinion it's kind of early to call this generation for Sony or Microsoft, but if you look at what's in the pipe Sony has a lot of good games coming.

I'm talking about the past few generations in general.

Plus the One is designed to get better as time goes.

In the last generation with the 360 Microsoft had horrible hardware early on with around 33 percent failure rate in the first two years with the red ring of death fiasco, which got better, but still was the worst of the three. Their system software and online were arguably the best and for the most part they had the best console versions of third party games, but their first party was kind of limited and towards the end they went more toward the gimmicky Kinect motion controls.

Nintendo had the best hardware failure rate wise, but was very weak in comparison. Their online was the weakest of the three, but their first-party was, as you said, arguably the best, but also because of the weak hardware they didn't have as many third-party ports.

Sony was kind of somewhere in between with fairly solid hardware, but weak system software and online, which got better as time progressed. Their first-party is also arguably the best after the first three years passed, when there weren't very many good exclusives. Also, while they had good third-party support usually the ports weren't as good as what was on the PC or 360.

As is the PS4.

Oh, I forgot completely about the whole Red Ring fiasco. I think my brain wanted to erase the memory of that stupidity.

only the first two batches of 360s had that problem
