Ehhh... it's not healthy by traditional console standards. Microsoft has just created a culture of being primarily reliant on third party whether they know it or not. Traditionally third party only should serve on a marketing level to add to the excitement of their first party.

It's actually the complete opposite. Traditionally the lifeblood of a console is 3rd party support. 

You'll be hard pressed to find many successful consoles that are lacking strong 3rd party support, with the one anomaly being the Wii.

The stronger the 3rd party support, the more viable the platform.

 

It's actually the combination of both. VR will play an additional roll in the future.
