Of course Playstation can stand up to the Xbox on its own, its called first party. Everyone says third party exclusives keep dwindling but as long as MS is in the gaming industry third party exclusives will continue to run rampant, especially at the beginning of the gen. These are the same tactics they used this gen for the first three years of the 360's lifespan. I bought all of those games too like the Condemned, Bioshock and others. You can't use the counter argument of exclusives in the same context as you do MS as far as PC exclusives are concerned such as Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Kotor1 &2, Jade Empire, Alan Wake, Minecraft, Divinity, Witcher 2....yes I've played them all on the Xbox and Xbox 360 . MS popularized taking PC exclusives to make up for their inadequate first party for two generations now. They screwed Sony gamers out of Gears of War, and oh yeah...if Sony were to ever get a timed exclusive on them you're screwed because their policy doesn't allow for late games. 

Your history lesson about MS stills fails to acknowledge the strides they are obviously making in their own 1st party software. 3rd party exclusives/timed + their 1st party games are a winning strategy and sustainable, unlike 360s strategy

Their strides in making first party have been happening and failed for two generations now. The new approach is to create new studios of their own because they tend to close down studios or have people leave them. Now that they are finally thinking properly by creating home grown studios we can at least get one good new IP out of their first party now from Black Tusk and I hope that hoping for the best doesn't jinx them. On the orignal Xbox Halo was the game, If their first party was so great, they wouldn't need to constantly go after third party exclusives, but theres a gaping hole in the quality of how most of their games turned out and theres a reason for it. Lets see if they can fix it this gen because I haven't seen very many first party titles from them, but rather from third party.
