Really?? Seems to me there are plenty of great titles coming to both X360 & PS3. As for lack of exclusive midway through this generation... simple... Sony already had tons of in house developers while Microsoft around that same time was in the process of building up their in house studios.

Since 2008 Microsoft has added Press Play, Twisted Pixel, Black Tusk Studios, Soho Productions, Lift London, BigPark, Microsoft Studios Victoria & Microsoft Studios Osaka. That`s at least 8 studios built from the ground up or purchased outright since 2007.

Sony on the other hand during this same timeframe has been shutting down a good chunk of studios but also had tons more considering their one generation head start on Microsoft.

Studios are great but the end of cycle games can't compare. TLoU + Beyond2Souls + GT6 versus Gears of war 4?

takes time to build up good developer talent. Last of Us and Beyond 2 Souls I agree with but forza is hands down the better sim game compared to Gran Turismo.

One of points is that most of Sony`s development studios have been around for years while the majority of Microsoft`s are just a few years old at best.

My other point is that Sony has had longer to build up good development studios longer than Microsoft. It takes time for development studios to produce games and considering most of Microsoft`s were formed within the last few years it is no surprise that they had a larger amount of exclusives late in this generation. If you look at X360 up to 2007 there were more timed exclusives and third party exclusives overall during that time and also they closed major studios like FASA Studios and Ensemble Studios during that time as well.
