It's not like there a shortage of games on Xbox one, sure Sony has more exclusives but in the early days of PS4, it was all about 3rd party games. 421 games came out on Xbox one in 2017 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_One_games

In order to improve their current exclusive content Microsoft would have to spend on time exclusives which only piss off the general public and in the end it's not economical for Microsoft.

Little has been said on what Microsoft has in store for us in 2018, but, I suspect the best exclusives might actually comes from indie titles.

Xbox one X is now home to the best consoles 3rd party games it even improves Xbox 360 games and I think they made a better job on showing why Xbox one X is good for people with only a 1080p TV. When you buy an Xbox one you buy in the Microsoft Eco system.... Exclusives, game pass & superior Back-compact(Sony does have PS now).

They have been promising to increase their 1st party output since the start of the gen.. so it isn't something that is new and they are having to cover up, it's their fault for a long time.

They made bad investment that din't pan out some that we know publicly (Fable Legends, Scalebound & Knoxville) and some that probably never took off behind close door.  Microsoft made an investment in Kinect 2.0 that must of included a bunch of games and most of them must of have been cancel after Phil Spencer took over. Aaron Greenberg and Phil Spencer have both mention that there are unannounced new IP and projects. They also hinted that they have expended their Coalition and 343 studios and working on multiple projects. These games weren't in the stage to be shown to the public yet at E3 2017. 

This could simply be optimistic thinking from a Microsoft supporter but there is a X factor (so for the pun) and that's the Xbox One X. You don't invest in development and marketing costs of Xbox one X without having software support to follow.   The investment in New software would of came in mid 2015 to mid 2016. Development cycle for bigger games would be 3-5 years.... 2018-2020 window....
