Those first two points don't move hardware in any meaningful way.
As for marketing, it is debatable. They have got Fallout and Tomb Raider, but have lost Cod and Assassin's Creed. You also have to compare it to the competition. Sony only had GTAV last year for the holidays, and that was a remaster of a one yeae old game. This year they have Battlefront, Cod and Ass Creed. They will take sales from one another based on these partnerships, and MS does not have the third party advantage it had last year.
I think it comes down to what it always looked like coming down to. Halo 5, and whether or not there is a price cut.
