Microsoft Xbox E3 is going to be so huge.

Microsofts division has never been great, but they have published some great third party games. Before they owned it Gears of War saved their gen last generation. Microsoft seems to be a huge believer that third party should do all of the heavy lifting for them. A lesson that Sony, Nintendo and Sega had to learn doesnt always works.

They have great 1st party games as well.

Gears of War didn't save MS last gen, the 360 had a bunch of notable games and Gears of War. While PS3 was struggling because something at Sony thought PS3 could sell at any price.

Sony is relying heavily on 3rd party as well. Take out the 3rd party developed exclusives and you their library is less impressive.

You've become so anti Xbox you don't even make valid arguments anymore.

Microsoft Most of last gen for Microsofts first party was Halo, Fable and Forza.  Of course Microsoft published Gears back then. Gears was the key IP the 360 needed to keep its brand fresh as Fable was driven into the ground by Peter Molyneux. 

Sony relies heavy on third party, but even Phil Spencer knows even if you take out their third party today, Sony still has their number. Their first party is among the top 20 in the industry and much higher on the list than anyone Microsoft has outside of Turn 10. 

Microsofts launch with the Xbox One relied on table srcaps from Sony. Sunset Overdrive and Sony failing to close in on Titanfall. Of course they wised up and got the second game though. 

 

Think about it.
