The interesting part is about first party studios, not even games (the games talk is deceiving IMO).
When 343, The Coalition and Turn 10 are done with their games, what will be the next One first party studio releasing their game? Rare? Lionhead ? They're both mere shadows of what they were years ago.
So, after Halo 5 and Gears 4, we will wait years for Halo 6 and Gears 5 to release for a new "best line up ever", and the waiting time will be full with third and second party games only (and maybe a few smaller first party). That's the real issue with the Xbox IMO (and that's why I can consider buying a Wii U or NX, but not an Xbox, I don't like Halo and Gears enough for that).
They just don't have enough first party studios compared to the other 2. And when the Japanese developers already go for the NX over the Xbox One, and when you don't have enough marketshares to secure exclusives easily, it becomes difficult not to fall behind in term of games released if you can't compensate with your first party devs. That's only logical.
