From 2 to 18.

Real time view of the sales plummeting as post-release information came out.

6/10 of the year's best-sellers in the US are exclusives. There are zero Xbox first party titles.

3 Nitty exclusives, 3 Sony exclusives.
And yet people still doubt the Sony first party is as good, if not better, than Nitty.

People have even bigger doubts than that lol. Some choice quotes:

The importance of arbitrary "85+ Metascore" exclusives will always be exaggerated by die hard platform loyalists. The best selling games on each platform is dominated by multiplatform games. In this regard, Sony barely managed to do any better than Microsoft. Vast majority of the console crowd is your Call of Duty/BF shooter crowd, now also split by Fortnite audience, and the rest will keep buying another GTA game for the next 5 years while the "moneyhatted for lyfe" games will be left in the dust, the remnants of which will remain vocal on forums lol

Yikes!

Anyway, MS's major missteps were hardware specs and pricing along with questionable policies they had to backtrack on. Its important for them to gain positive traction at launch. Exclusives might help, just not nearly as much as you think.

So let's examine the above statement. Were MS' major missteps from last gen taken care of?

- hardware specs? Yes (better gpu specs compared to other consoles)
- Pricing? Yes (equivalent or cheapest current-gen hardware options)
- questionable policies? Yes (no bad policies or PR stunts, only goodwill established via Game Pass)

Did it change things? No, they're still in 3rd place

Animal Crossing is beating every Sony AAA offering for the whole year, where Sony is the lead platform numbers wise.

Nintendo are the kings.

Happy for Animal Crossing and Tsushima.
