Microsoft. Regardless of how well or bad they have done, they have always given up quickly on supporting their system with games.
Original Xbox they tried and it didn't go anywhere so they killed it of early to release the next system early and get a head start.
The 360 they released faulty, lashed a bunch of next gen features that had to be bought as add ons, front loaded it with exclusive and after 3 years road it out with 3rd party and their triple halo, gears and Forza releases.
The One, stupidly priced at launch due to a gimmick, lacked behind in HW, gave up 2-3 years in and went back to relying on their usual 3 games.
Series gen, again has had 2 AAA games release in the span of 18 months and one of them being a bi-annual kinda game. In the same time Sony has released around 8 games that are AAA and then smaller games like Sackboy, Astrobot, Kena and Upgraded releases.
Nintendo has been horrendous this gen with only one Zelda, one mainline Mario. Most their games have been re-releases of sorts and they are 5 years into this gen. My fave Nintendo gen won't be beaten I think. The N64 was Nintendo at their best.

Not really true. There was Gears Tactics at launch and Flight Sim during the summer. Psychonauts 2 as well if you don't care about it being multiplatform. So 4-5 AAA depending on how you look at it. Then plenty of timed exclusives thrown in there. 2nd half of this year is still good, but Xbox needs to improve with 1st half releases which they have acknowledged. Sony continues to be way better at this. I can't see this being a continued issue going forward with the amount of studios Xbox has now and will have.
