For the vast bulk of subjects and settings you will be very hard pressed to see any modern system is better than any other if you look at the finished images and view them as whole images - the way normal people consume their photography.  They are all capable of excellent images and all of them have numerous users who sell their images.

Bigger sensors enable you to restrict depth of field and have better high ISO performance BUT all modern systems have excellent performance at any reasonably commonly used ISO.  Smaller sensors give you more depth of field which is just as much an advantage and will often allow a slower ISO for the same result.

So it really boils down to personal preference.  What system you like in the hand and to shoot with.  Full frame does have advantages, but they are rather modest.  The rest of it is marketing and collective desire.  Nikon and Canon lead this because of their huge installed base of full frame lenses.  Sony kept up - even if they were ahead in full frame mirrorless it was this trend that drove it.  So having full frame makes people feel good about being a photographer.

So don't worry.  Choose the stuff you like.  Sony, Canon, Nikon and in fourth place Fuji if you want to follow the buying trends.
