I would say that the loss of third-party exclusives by silly early decisions from Sony actually caused their first-party developers to really step up their game, which for me was a very good thing. I can still buy those multi-platform franchises but I get a lot of brilliant first-party games as well.
Sony seem more open to taking a gamble on things like Journey or Heavy Rain than their competitors too. Things that might be a hard game to 'sell' or describe, not an easy investment like Halo X. Although it's not all good, because they still do invest in FPS franchises and genre-copies, but still.
