They lack a constructive first party perspective? Little known fact: Microsoft has been a stronger publisher than Sony this generation:
If a game gets released and noone plays it, does that game still count? Does it matter than Sony releases Killzone 3 and Resistance 3 when all people care about are Battlefield 3 and MW3? Microsoft games tend to be landmarks in their genre and stand out a heck of a lot better on the whole than Sony's efforts.
According to the totals MS sold 109M games vs Sony 98M.
MS has two 10M selling games and 5 more 5M selling games vs Sony with 2 5M sellers.
Now would you really expect that kind of statistic from the first party which has the smallest number of 1st/2nd party developers? It proves it isn't so much about what you have but how you use it. You can throw down a list of games but the only thing which really matters in the end is convincing people your games are good enough to buy and to keep.
Platitudes keep you feeling good about yourself, revenue gives you a business and profit keeps you in it. They simply couldn't sell the most expensive to buy console with the $60 a year Live Gold expense which doesn't have the cool features like Blu Ray or the so called massive list of amazing games if they couldn't please their customers.
Tease.
