Microsoft just loses interest in their console after 4 or 5 years and doesn't release games for it anymore. Look at the original Xbox and the 360, very little games from Microsoft after 2010. While the PS3 is getting new games every month.

So far there's two Xbox 360 exclusive games announced for 2014, while there's only one for Ps3. Who's losing interest in which console? Huh? Who's losing it? ô.ô

Sony is still heavily supporting the PS3. So starting soon you'll see a lot more games for the PS4. If these consoles were an annual thing, like the iPhone or something, then you'd be right. But i want good support for the PS4 in the future as well. Something you won't see happening with Microsoft's console offerings.

A lot of people seem to forget that the 360 is a year older than PS3 and for 2012 (the equivalent of 2013 for PS3) Microsoft published the following for 360:

3 Point Contest
Alan Wake's American Nightmare
Bloodforge
Dance Central 3
Darts Vs Zombies
Deadlight
Diabolical Pitch
Dragon's Lair
Dungeon Fighter Live
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Fable Heroes
Fable: The Journey
Fez
Field Goal Contest
Fire Pro Wrestling
Forza Horizon
Halo 4
Happy Action Theater
Happy Wars
Haunt
Homerun Stars
Intel Discovered
Joe Danger: The Movie
Joy Ride Turbo
Kinect Nat Geo TV
Kinect Party
Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure
Kinect Sesame Street TV
Kinect Sports: Ultimate Collection
Kinect Star Wars
Mark of the Ninja
Minecraft
Nike+ Kinect Training
Prize Driver
Reaction Rally
Red Bull Crashed Ice
Sine Mora
Ski Race
South Park: Tenorman's Revenge
Spelunky
The Splatters
Trials Evolution
Wreckateer

That's a decent lineup for a system of that age (2 of those games look like they'll end up with sales of between 8-11 million).

Then there's the fact that Microsoft has been opening up more game studios in the last couple of years and are putting even more money into Xbox One game development than they did with 360.
