Last year they Microsoft only had Cuphead, Halo Wars, and another Forza game. Six months into this year and they've only had Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2, both of which have been fairly negatively received. Sony has had a bigger exclusive output from Japan alone over the last couple of years than Microsoft has had across the board.
Don Mattrick's shit show of a launch put them in a hole in terms of launch sales, but they've done nothing in terms of software to turn things around since then. The Xbox needs to start being more than a Halo and Forza machine. They have the strongest machine on the market and good programs like game pass, but none of it matters until they actually have some more games.
Somebody pointed out recently that if you watch Microsoft's 2014(?) conference, the only announcement that has actually come out is Sea of Thieves. Everything else got canceled or still isn't out (Crackdown). That's a lot of time and money to devote to a bunch of game development that ultimately ends up turning into nothing.
