Quality wise, I personally think MS is easily a match for Nintendo and Sony. The problem this gen for MS is quantity, Sony is absolutely spanking MS in terms of software output. Just look at the lists for 2017, Sony has like 3 times as many 2017 exclusives as MS, it's insane. Hopefully MS actually has a decent number of new games to announce at E3 next year instead of the usual 3 or 4.

You're correct that Microsoft has some high quality titlesbut they are few and come in iterations unless a third party exclusive is a hit. Problem is none of the action titles had anything to do with Microsoft in their creation. This doesnt mean to say they dont have great titles, but it means they dont have the same potential to create as their competition. They've even admitted their reasoning as to why they got timed exclusives off of high profile titles when it never made sense. Once more, MS bought or invested in them and then over time made them first party. Sony is actually creative. Similarly to Nintendo, they are capable of pumping out new IP that can drive sales.
