you sure do put a lot of faith in Microsoft when it comes to Halo. Halo cannot save the Xbox. It couldn't save the original and it played second fiddle to COD on the Xbox 360. Do you know what helped Sony steamroll ahead of Microsoft this gen? Overall value. Apparently they were late to the party but eventually they still came.

Does that mean none of Sony's IP's can save them as not a single one of them managed to outsell Halo 3 (likely Halo 4 will outsell every Sony exclusive too)?

I hardly call 6 years to overtake a "inferior powered, less value" console "steamrollin".  Japan pushed the PS3 ahead of the 360, pure and simple, without it Sony were a distant second. 

Do you know what steam rolling is? Its  slow press and thats essentially what Sony did year after year until the 10 million console gap was decimated. Sony had outsold Microsofts launch numbers from the very beginning but being that Microsoft cut their marketshare in half MS games were being supported just as well if not better than Sony in the beginning.

First party cannot save anyone. It didnt save Nintendo with the N64 nor the GC. 

He who has the multiplats always wins unless you come up with a first party gimmick and sustain it like the Wii (of course those gamers will not return until Nintendo finds another gimmick that entices them to try it out).

Sony has many exclusives that of which bring a massive amounts of gamers towards them, they dont just focus on one or two like Microsoft. They know they cannot do it alone which is humbling and they know they need their first party to be top notch, which it has. Two of their internal studios are most definitely in the gens top 10.
