1.Yes and they are huge franchises nonethless. Doesn't matter how it gets it.

2. Sony's first party AAA games this generation isn't good. This year sony only has Horizon zero dawn and GT sport (which will be lack luster). Microsoft has sea of theives, halo wars 2, forza 7, crackdown 3, state of decay 2. Sony only looks decent this year because of the niche japanaese games it gets which don't sell that well outside of Japan and doesn't cater to the big western / european market.

3. Sony only wins because of big brand name not because of exclusives. Only Sony could survive what they did with the ps3.

1.Agreed. They are huge franchises. I am just outlining Microsofts ability to make games. The very thing people are complainng about right now.

2. Sonys first party is doing just fine. The last guardian landed an 82 Metacritic, Horion just dropped and by itself is better than anything Microsoft has ever created (im not kidding...play it). Halo Wars has no real competition on consoles because the real RTS games are made for a mouse and keyboard. Halo Wars is RTS lite. I would recommend another RTS if you have a PC. Forza is amazing. Yeah...no ones really salivating for anything Micosoft has announced outside of State of Decay.

3. Saying Sony wins because of brand name isnt logical in this day and age. They are losing popularity in the electronics industry by the day, and yet they are still ahead of their competitors in many respects. Part of it has to do with the pricing of their tech.  Regardless of that...if Microsoft could buy their competitors development studios they would, just like they bought Rare. Look at Rare today.

1. Microsoft funded Halo, Gears and Forza and helped direct it to what it is. Only minecraft isn't made or have anything with Microsoft.

2. Games are subjective. I prefer online multiplayer games more than single player games. Also, Halo wars is addicting to me because I like the online multiplayer a lot especially blitz mode. Just like how I can't wait to play State of decay 2, and Crackdown 3 the most because of it's online. I love online games the most and Microsoft has deliver the best online games imo than any publisher except for maybe EA (I love titan fall ,BF and Madden). Not to mention I prefer xbl over psn. Thats why I like xbox a lot more than Sony and Nintendo. It gives me the best multiplayer experience.

3. That has nothing to do with playstation though. When people hear GTA, Fifa, Resident Evil, MGS, FF, ect they think Playstation automatically because thats where the games started on and that is the mentality people have. Sony started at the right time and Microsoft only had real third party support for eleven years (og xbox had terrible third party support compare to ps2) while playstation had it for over twenty years.

If I was honest the only thing that dissapointed me with xbox one was they didn't go for the VASTLY SUPERIOR graphics for multiplatform games in favor of Kinect. They correcting it with the xbox scorpio which excites me, but Microsoft always aimed at this which always made me appreciate the system because I know most of my gaming are multiplatform games.
