Sony arguably had the best E3 conference this week, revealing exclusive after exclusive, not to mention the comeback of Crash Bandicoot.
But Microsoft isn't too worried, arguing that while Sony has some great first-party games, few are coming out in 2016.
Here's what Microsoft's Phil Spencer told Game Informer: "When I look at this year, I'll just take the E3 conferences… we showed four big games launching exclusively on Xbox One and Windows 10. When I think about Gears, Forza Horizon, ReCore, Dead Rising 4 - all of those games are launching this year and they've been announced, there are dates next to them.
"And I think on the indie side, we've got Inside which I've been playing. We've got We Happy Few. We've got Below. We've got Cuphead. There are a ton more, but I'm just thinking about some real highlights in indie games that are coming this year."
Spencer definitely has a point. Sony announced some real heavy-hitters at E3, but it's not too clear when these games are actually coming out.
"When I watch the other platforms, it's not always clear to me when the games are shipping or how many of them are shipping this year," he continued.
What to Read Next
"I mean these are a pretty diverse set of games from a great set of developers. And to say that the other consoles are doing a better job shipping more games for their customer… I don't see that."
"And I see what the other first-party is doing - Uncharted was an amazing game. I think Naughty Dog did a great job. I'm sure Last Guardian, when it ships this year, will be great, but I just look at the lineup and the quantity and the quality that our team's been shipping and I feel really good about that."
Microsoft was also the only company to properly unveil new hardware at the event (unless you count PlayStation VR), confirming that the 40% slimmer Xbox One S is out on August.
