The fact is that the exclusives that:
1. Don't sell consoles to any decent degree.
2. Don't make any appreciable differences in game libraries.
3. Don't make money.
fail in the only thig that matters to the final costumer (considering the ones you pointed):
2. Fill out gaming libraries.
Don't get me wrong... I completely understand what you're saying! But I also believe you forgot the main "why":
- MS doesn't have the internal talent it's needed to create exclusives that:
1. Sell consoles.
2. Fill out gaming libraries.
3. Make money.
And therefore, they can't do "good exclusives".
I think it's a much simple explanation than yours, and says it all.

Regardless of your own opinion regarding the talent of Microsoft's dev teams, you have to admit that they can produce a title that does indeed sell consoles, fill out their gaming library, and makes money. They have shown this with Halo and to a lesser extent, gears. Of course, without Bungie, the halo series may fall, but I believe the brand power will be enough to make it a relevant shooter for at least all of next gen.

Bungie was MS easily best team, and Halo is the very definition of killer app. But Gears is made by Epic Games which are not a Microsoft game studio.
