You just have a poor understanding. This entire time my point is made where you don't need 1st party exclusives to outsell your opposition hence this NPD. They help but there not necessary. Where's the spin in that? Apart from everyone making excuses as to way the X1 outsold the PS4 which only proves my point even further, they did it without 1st party games.

You can sell shit if you have perfect marketing for it. That's a lesson in life.

To a degree you're right but Xbox One outsold the PS4 because it was cheaper. It's as simple as that. 

Price, availability, image, number of games, exclusivity of games (third and first party and timed exclusivity deals, especially when they are used for deceitful marketing as with PUBG), exclusive features, appearance in ads and media, power...all those features play a certain role. No one ever said exclusives were the one deciding factor. Guy is boasting about something, when in reality MS needed a huge price drop, PUBG and bundles (including most aggressive marketing), a new, hyped up console model with 1.5 years of marketing and constant availability to even beat Sony on MS’s home turf by a small margin.
