The difference between Sony outsourcing & MS outsourcing third parties/ projects is Sony actually has a history of developing internal projects. In fact, Sega, Nintendo & Sony all have first party games that have sold well or been critically praised, MS has only one (Forza) that even fits this bill.

Not just this gen but...

MS definitely has to step up their first party development, they have enough money to do so & even have the userbase (Xbox + PC) that could justify the risks of a new IP.  

This. Its why people give the other two a "pass" they've proven themselves a long time ago.

What do you mean? They brought in developers and made them first party. Bungie and Epic were both brought into the fold and treated like first party. Nintendo did the same thing with Rare and so did Sony with Naughty Dog. Just because there isn't a Microsoft development team doesn't mean that they don't have a first party. They just went about it differently.
