That won't happen as ps4 has a huge install base. They won't abandon 108 million of those for at least 1 to 2 years into next gen. 

This has always been the case with new generations. Wasn't PS3 at 80m when PS4 launched, still plenty of year 1 exclusives to throw around. Same with Xbox 360 > Xbox One. 

Microsoft is more inclined to make everything cross gen because they are building a future more heavily dependent on services, which also has to take into account the PC market which will range from Monster rigs to modest laptops. I'm sure the more recent release on Xbox One X and its higher price tag has also made them uncomfortable with with the prospect of releasing anything exclusive to series X. Sony however has still stressed their belief in traditional generations, they don't have to worry about PC and the Pro is 4 years old this year and was never sold at a massive premium, so users shouldn't feel so burned.

Although I think we will see some 1st party cross gen from Sony I think we will also have day one exclusives and several throughout its first year.

Don't know how many ps3 was at the start of ps4 launch. The games as u mentioned were all first party for launch ps4 and there weren't many at launch as I got the ps4 at launch. I ended up choosing kill one as my launch game. Same with xbox one. There weren't many first party exclusive as I got ryse as my launch game and then I got blackflag which was cross gen lol. I am sure Ms will have some first party exclusive to series x. I mean we have 1 third party which is medium according to the developer.

I don't think Ms is worried as they have gamepass and that has brought alot of revenue for them and its now available on pc as well.  I read the interview about medium and chorus and they said they can't wait to utilise the upgrade in hardware to enhance the game. For chorus it will use hard ware upgrade to provide visual and Res enhancements over current gen. 

I can't wait till Sony show their hand. I am. Waiting patiently hehe
