Have you seen Bonus Round, Giant Bomb, IGN (IGN are the biggest fanboys too) and other sites actually actively talking about games? The expectation is never high for Microsoft to create games but rather to publish. With Sony when they are low on games all you hear is compaining until Sony gets to where they need to be. Case in point last gen when Sony had no games for like two years because they were mostly developing themselves co-developing (or with second party) so it took a while (ans new IP's tend to). MS had a great first three years of games because they moneyhatted a good amount of third party to add to their ranks ontop of Rares games only to be topped off by Halo 3, Gears, Fable and Forza on rotation.
The expectations are not high on an internal level. On an external level...perhaps.

You take off the moneyhatted Japanese support, that could've been on Wii & 360, Sony didn't produce much either in your logic.
List all the first party studios work during PS3 era.

Sony doesn't entirely have to moneyhat japanese support. They know they mostly have Japanese support in the bag because of the Japanese audience tend to buy Playstation over Xbox and Nintendo wasn't primarily competing with them when it came to head to head games.
For instance:
Exhibit A: Microsoft moneyhats Ninja Gaiden 2. Ninja Gaiden 2 comes out.........and TECMO uses that money to fund a superior PS3 version of Sigma.
Sony has a unique situation with Japan.
