I agree that Sony doesn't have a great exclusive FPS. I actually played the hell out of Planetside 2, though. That game had amazing potential if you ask me. Halo 1 was revolutionary for its time and it's still a good fps, it just lost its appeal a bit over the years. Gears was also great when it just came out but after 5 parts, I think the novelty of chainsawing aliens in half has run its course and there isn't much of a story to tell anymore. 

We will see what happens next gen, but my guess is that Sony will come up with more new ip's. Some will be great and some will probably suck, but at least Sony has the balls to try new things. You have to admit that pitching games like Death Stranding or Dreams to MS would be pretty damn hard.  

MS has funded a bunch of new IPs this gen in various genres.

Off the top of my head, Cuphead, Ori, Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Ashen, Lococycle, a Panzer Dragoon clone, Recore, Ryse, Project Spark and Sea of Thieves.

Those games vary from meh to great. I think the real problem MS hasnt created enough AAA content that feels really ambitious. If MS made a couple notable open world games this gen, I think people would feel better about MS's 1st party lineup. However, 3rd parties made a lot of notable content like that.

I like that Sony creates big AAA story driven games, but I am a little bored of them constantly making that. It makes me yearn for action and gameplay focused stuff like Gears and Halo, or even Crackdown 3. However, Sony didnt have to make great shooters relying on 3rd parties. This gen Sony has bundled Star Wars BF, CoD and Destiny.

Anyway, I dont just care about new IPs. Taking an old IP making something great out of that can be satisfying as well.

MS really need to give a second chance to some new ips of this generation.

Recore, Quantum Break, Crimson Dragon and Sunset Overdrive are solid games, a bigger budget or some extra polish could make them good AAA game for next generation and ad good variety to Xbox games.

*I know sunset overdride 2 is now imposible in Xbox. Is just an example.

Sorry for my bad english.
