Why start "this gen?"  Why not start since Microsoft acquired Bungie with the original Xbox when Alex Seropian left Bungie after creative differences?  And the rest of history as Runa216 already covered some of it since you make it so easy.  Also, Mojang makes more than just Minecraft, but employees were irate after Microsoft required them to concentrate on Minecraft.  Rare was used to push Kinect, not allowing them to continue a legacy they build with Nintendo.  And you have more developers who once worked exclusively with Microsoft and are now also working with Sony, but NOT the other way around such as Epic, Bungie, Remedy, Valve, etc. with projects outside of Microsoft's control.  Why do you think that there has been a more variety of titles for the PlayStation platform than the Xbox?  It's because Sony purposely allows a far less tighter control for those developers to make games that want and not heavily demanded by Microsoft in ALL GENS.  But you had to make it "this gen" to shape your narrow field of view of justification.  You're not fooling anyone but yourself. 

Why not include other gens?

Umm because that matter has been resolved. Meaning that they give creative freedom to devs. 

Honestly why are you trying to twist. We are talking about current not what MS was doing back in the DOS days.

Couple posts back you were concerned about FF starting on Nintendo 30 years ago (even if it became mainly a PS game on the last 20+ years) or MGS confusion. Now it only matters what happened on the last couple years? By that account then all these games that haven't released in over 5 years are ok to go to Sony.
