We watch these conferences to be entertained. People who don't even game on Xbox were in for a treat by watching this conference. Sure, Microsoft only really "sold" us on Xbox by improving the Game Pass and confirming that they've acquired more studios - but at the end of the day, they had one hell of a great conference in terms of structure and priority. For Microsoft's standards, this was amazing, and you know you can't expect them to announce exclusives on par with Sony. From what it looks like they're probably going to have the best third-party conference.

A few of the most apologetic statements I've read in a long time.

So...? Can you blame me for that? Everyone was expecting Microsoft's conference to be crap as most of the recent news regarding Microsoft's gaming division has been nothing but disappointment. Crackdown 3 delayed, Microsoft searching other platforms, etc. 

I don't watch E3 specifically for exclusive games. Maybe that's you, but I watch E3 to get excited about upcoming games in general, preferably new announcements that get me anticipated for the future. Microsoft proved to us that the launch of their next console is definitely looking brighter than what they did with the Xbox One. After all, this conference cemented the fact that they are investing in more first party studios, so hopefully, their future lineup won't boil down to the generic Halo, Forza and Gears trio. That's how I saw this E3.

Microsoft already has the most powerful console and the Game Pass is an incredibly good deal + more games will be coming. If you're not sold on that, you probably will never be sold on Xbox in general.
