Both companies have made up where they were deficient at the beginning of this generation.  Sure, it looks like Microsoft may be behind Sony in terms of games and game content but that's because they started out way ahead of Sony at the beginning of this generation.  Hell, Microsoft ended the previous generation leagues ahead of Sony.  So kudos to Sony for catching up with the Original Xbox capabilities.  Microsoft has made up and surpassed Sony's media capabilities through the media services available on Xbox LIVE.

Sony is a media company, as well as a software company, as well as a hardware company, yet Sony has done nothing on the scale of what Microsoft did with Halo 4.  Microsoft created a live-action Halo series prior to the release of Halo 4, released the game Halo 4, created a massive amount of content for Halo 4, as well as an animated episode for each of the DLC packages.  Huh.  Go figure.

What kind of excuse is that? So it only looks like sony is putting out more games every single year because ms had a headstart? Sony is caught up and more, which says that in 6 years, sony put out more games than ms in 7. That's not an illusion.

MS ended last gen leagues ahead??? Sony first party titles dwarfed the xbox first party, both in quality and quantity.

PS: Halo is a massively popular series. If you're saying that Sony, being a huge multimedia conglomerate has yet to show even an ounce of strength compared to MS, I have no argument, as MS' marketing and merchandising ability wasn't something I was arguing in the first place. I'm not sure how that counters "ms is less focused on game software" though, as it really has nothing to do with it, since comic books and tv shows are not games.
