Microsoft might get away with weak hardware and still sell well because of other stuff and that makes me sad...

Everyone else might not have as good of an OS and marketing but they will have more in house titles. Its a trade off, why not have them all?

This isn't something set in stone. X360 had many more in-house game releases till 2008~2009 than PS3 at a similar time frame, for example.

What example? 2008 2009 was when Sony started pulling ahead of Microsoft especially after the MGS4 release. It set the tone for the fleet of first party Sony releases after the buzz that MGS4 launched occured. They've been outproducing them for almost five years now in first party. I think you're talking about them being their most competitive was from 2005-2009. They bought a lot of third party real estate and paid a lot of third parties to make games for them. Few of the studios were in house and most of those IP's outside of Crackdown (as a first party) fell through the cracks.
