I think we are in agreement, but we are not seemingly on the same page. I entirely agree that an exclusive is an exclusive, and it doesn't matter where Microsoft got that exclusive. To me the only thing that should matter is that they have that exclusive. The point I was driving at is this. Microsoft should have more high end exclusives this year then they had last year.

I see no reason as to why Microsoft would not enjoy a game swell. They should still be securing the same number of third party exclusives this year. Given that they probably secured them two years ago when they were easy acquisitions. Plus this year they should see a full output from their first party studios.

To me that means rather then half a dozen meaningful exclusives. They should be announcing closer to a dozen meaningful exclusives either at their press event, or via exhibitors. That was the point I was driving at, and it really does point to Microsoft really being able to come out heavy this year.
