Actually Sony the last years also has churned out a number of amazing 
first party games for their consoles.
Besides their usual offerings, they have a bunch of smaller titles for 
instance the ones from Media Molecule or the studio which programmed 
Journey which follow similar design principles like Nintendo does.
Also they seem to have a good eye on what independend games they fund, 
some of those in the pipleline look amazing.

The best platformer although a little bit short I played the last years 
was from Sony/Media Molecule on the PS Vita, it was called Tearaway. A 
five hours game which blended in the camera and pretty much every 
control the vita has (and it has lots of them) and made a really good 
platformer out of it.

Also if you have a PS3 or PS4 give Journey a try. Excellent game 
although a little bit on the weird side.

But I generally agree Nintendo overall should deserve more credit for 
their highly underrated Wii-U. They have released a load of excellent 
first party titles most of them among the best of this console 
generation. To bad they made the console so weak and lost the entire 
third party market that way. The Wii-U from a first party perspective is 
way better than the Wii ever was. The reason simply is that the first 
party lineup is top notch and there literally is no shovelware on the 
system.
