Considering the following, I will politefully disagree with you.

Jan: Amplitude, The Witness, and indies
(This is the best chance Xbox One has to remain close)

Feb: Street Fighter 5, Gravity Rush Remaster, Digimon Story, Call of Duty Black Op 3 (timed dlc exclusive), and more eastern exclusives 
(The onslaught begins)

March: MLB 16 the Show (getting bigger every year), Heavy Rain, Witch and Hundred Knight REvival, Samurai Warrior 4 and more.
(The onslaught continues)

 

Forgot about Street Fighter V. Though in March, the XB1 does have The Division bundle, as well as marketing rights. So that should help them. But april and may will likely see the worst of it.

Gap tends to be bigger in Q1. April and May are usually non factors even with exclusive games.
