Yeah, the PS4's success is more about being a better console in terms of specs / 3rd party friendliness, memetic hype due to not fucking up the announcement like Xbox, and the snowball effect of being the more popular console after launch, rather than having the best "exclusives". Not exactly news.
PS4 could comfortably rest on its laurels as far as exclusive library goes for a while, but my impression was this year it had a few exclusive games that would put it above the Xbox library (unless you're a Halo fan) this year. The Order was a dud (reception-wise) but Bloodborne will probably be loved by the fans and the Dark Souls franchise has built up enough goodwill that having the spiritual successor as an exclusive should pay off. The latter part of the year will depend on E3 announcements. The Wii U may or may not have quality exclusives to compete with it for best lineup of the yearbut that only matters to a small segment of the market - for the mass market it's a two horse race, and it Sony's exclusives will have to keep bombing in terms of quality (not even just being "meh") while Microsoft has some great ones for the leader to change.
