Microsoft Xbox one is this really the best launch lineup ever

No. And including the MultiPlats doesn't make it the best launch lineup ever because the PS4 is getting those too. PS4 and XBoxOne launch line ups are basically the same in quality ( including exclusives ) with everything else being in Playstation 4's favor:  Price, tech, power, the fact that the only country where the Xbox One will possibly outsell PS4 is America.

Microsoft's already lost.  I don't know why they're even bothering. 

Many thought the same about the PS3 shortly after Sony launched it, but they managed to turn it around, so even if PS4 might start better there still is a chance for MS to make a come back if they heavily invest in game development.

I don't know.  They've been heavily invested in game development a long time and so far they've only managed to come up with Halo ( no longer being made by Bungie ) and Gears and Dead Rising will probably go Multiplat next March.

Microsoft just doesn't have the Universal appeal ( ie. they're nowhere near as big as Sony in Europe or Japan ) or the Quality Second Party Developers ( Naughty Dog et. al. ) that Sony has.

The big advantage that Xbox had over PS3 this time out was that Western Third Party Developers optimized their games for the 360, but with the PS4 being much more developer friendly than the PS3 and with it releasing first and taking a big advantage in sales over One in sales this holiday season, Western Third Party Developers won't have as much of a reason to optimize their games so much for One.
