Maybe, but unless they have THE biggest E3 ever (and I'm talking FF Versus XIII exclusive level of big) then the fanbase will remain the same.
New first party IPs usually don't gather any new customers, the people that play a new IP from "x" first party company are the current fanbase. So, unless the exclusive games come from extremely big franchises (FF, GTA, CoD, Mass Effect, etc) then nothing that I said above will change.

When FF 13 got announced for the 360 the only people that cared were the fanboys. The general 360 demographic probably didnt care at all, cause if they wanted FF 13 they would have bought a ps3. So the fanbase wont change if something like that happened again.
Saying new Ip's wont get new customers is just simply not true. Gears got people to buy the 360, and Halo got people to buy the Xbox.

Yep, the first Gears of War fans were already MS fans, after that the franchise expanded to a higher audience, but very few games can achieve what Gears of War did. Same applies to Uncharted, the first fans were Sony fans, but after that the series expanded.

You cannot prove that. Gears did attract new consumers cause the first game was such a hit, Uncharted one was not a hit, but uncharted 2 was so yes you are right here but wrong with gears. But lets just ingore these two games. You said new IPs cannot gather new consumers well
Explain Halo then?
