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 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.

Halo, Fable and Forza were the big exclusives last gen, but there was also numerous other notable exclusives whether they were 3rd or 1st party developed. Gears of War sold great but it was just another successful game on a console with many hits. You're exagerating its impact on 360 sales and I believe PS3's failures helped 360 more than Gears ever did.

I feel like the only really notable games Sony has made this gen are Infamous:SS, Uncharted 4 and Horizon. Strong games, but lets not pretend everything Sony is doing is great. They don't look so hot without 3rd parties.

I don't get what you're saying in the third sentence, feel free to elaborate.
