One of the main problems of MS' first party games

XBox problem is the lack of diversity, it's the "dudebro" console with shooters and racing games (or at least, it's the Xbox image).
Sony has great looking games, fewer shooters and racing games, but has some family-friendly games (LBP, R&C...), and a lot more japanese and niche games (Dreams and TLG last E3 for example). That's, for me, the biggest difference between both consoles.

Agreed. Much like Nintendo deals with "kiddy" image Microsoft deals with "dudebro" image.  If you care little to nothing about shooters (like me) the first party line up is generally bare.  I give them credit for Lost Odyessy and Sunset Overdrive type projects as they interest me.  Hard to blame them, as Microsoft looks at sales data and sees they sell way less and abandons the idea in favor of safer bets like another Halo or Gears.  It really wouldn't matter to me how pretty Gears looks in terms of graphical fiedlity if the aesthetics and gameplay don't appeal to me in the slightest.  Now, if Microsoft came out with something like Shadow of the Colosuss or Sly Cooper get my attention.
