I think its first party droughts people mean. Microsoft has about 3 first party published games coming. They are bringing out heavy hitters like Halo, wich is why people arent perceiving the dire drought going on for it atm.
But generally speaking, i agree. I have been critical of Sony because they killed Vita support for the PS4 and yet we havent seen the plus side from that. I think people simply have lower expectations of Microsoft.
