Microsoft and even Sony have announced their games 1-2 years before they release, it's normal. And if that's not enough, check my post above talking about Microsoft's recent "14 first party games", all they have is Halo 6, Forza 7, Rare's Second game, and 1 unknown game. That is for late 2017/2018 and beyond. I'm saying, there will be a time probably 2018 when there will barely be any exclusives out on Microsofts system.

Yeah, but there's also been a lot of criticism of that approach, so it's certainly possible they've decided not to announce things too far in advance anymore.

Besides, let's not forget that a game doesn't need to be 1st party to end up exclusive.

Eh, not really, they got a lot criticism for showing CGI trailers and no gameplay. And even if they get criticism, I doubt it'll matter because they'll care more about advertising the game.

And of course there might be third party but western 3rd party exclusives are pretty much extinct as those are too costly like Titanfall because Sony is the industry leader. And Sony pretty much has japanese 3rd party exclusives tied down to their system.
