They do seem to be trying to make new games (perhaps even more than they did in the past) but there is also a lot of focus on backwards compatibility, which I don't really care for but it's great for those that do.
As far as Microsoft exclusives, I, for the most part, ignore news about them so I don't become hyped because so far, I've been disappointed almost every single time. I really don't expect that to change going forward, at least not for a few years.
Don't get me wrong though, I've immensely enjoyed my time on the Xbox One thus far and wouldn't change it for any other console (unless a certain set of events happened)
