Totally agree, but people tend to forget that last generation Microsoft didn't have many exclusive games either.

They put all their eggs in a 3-franchise basket after the 360's second-or-so birthday and most of the success they had was thanks to the Kinect marketing and hype (Kinect Adventures is the best-selling 360 game... by far).

People who bought a 360 did so to play third parties: CoD, GTA, and all the mainstream titles, not exclusives.

It's not realistic then to expect either Microsoft investing tons of money on new IPs or exclusivity deals nor their core fanbase supporting new IPs or genres (just remember the sad flops that were ReCore, Quatum Brake and Sunset Overdrive).
