I agree the Xbox hate is tiresome and overdone
I took a look and they issued 19 games this year across all platforms and the scores on Metacritic (not everyone's cup of tea granted however it is an aggregate across all reviews so not just one's opinion) suggests it was in fact a great year for game releases, I believe this does make them the biggest publisher in the world now - if we are talking about game cancellations and lay off's this is not exclusive to Xbox (no pun intended)

Exactly my point. Those scores are fine, and it was a great year for Microsoft. Just because the Sony fanboys, in a Sony dominated market, and YouTubers who just ride on the Microsoft hate since years for clicks is trying to paint a grim picture, does not make it real.
If you look at numbers, Microsoft released a LOT of games this year and the quality was there. Does this mean that ALL games were perfect or amazing, no. But that's a bit expected when you release so many games.
