^ It's ok that Sony delays because then we mostly get good titles. There isn't a single game in MS library that compares to either TLOU or even Uncharted 4's level of quality. For the record the original Phantom Dust was lackluster, I owned it. Out of that entire lineup i'm anticipating State of Decay as I loved the original, it's still the best game on 360, even that was on PC though and when it comes to PC vs Console i'm gonna chose PC every time over 720p 20fps LOL. But I wouldn't compare it to TLOU. Even then most of those titles will also be on PC. Unfortunately I havn't used my Xbox since Sunset Overdrive released, which imo was the last decent exclusive. PS4 owners aren't losing sleep on Rise of the tomb raider, since it's reboot Tomb Raider has been little more than an Uncharted clone without the narrative or the good characters. Gotta say at this point it's like Microsoft is just trying to snatch weaker versions of PS4 exclusives.
Microsoft releases a specific type of game, multiplayer filler titles that everyone will be over in a month when the new CoD drops. Halo 5's play count dropped faster than any Halo in the franchise. If Microsoft wants to truly compete with Sony they are going to have to grow as Sony did last generation. Microsoft doesn't hold the multiplayer crown anymore with Gears and Halo. As most have moved on to better multiplayer titles. I'd rather have Sony delay and release memorable titles like TLOU or Bloodborne, then release games that should have been cancelled eg: Quantum Break.
OT: Microsoft doesn't chase away devs. They've probably chased away far more fans than devs. Microsoft has built themselves up as the multiplayer filler company. Most of their fanbase consist of people who want those games as they've alienated all other fans with their lack of diversity. Anyone who wanted diversity from Microsoft have long jumped ship to Sony myself included.
As for the person who brought up Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider was obviously Microsoft's attempt to compete with Uncharted. They don't have the studios to produce a proper Uncharted-like game, so they purchased Tomb Raider. As Son of Rome was supposed to be the God of War. Heh now that I think about it, Quantum Break literally has a similar story to the original Infamous. Plays like Second Son and the guy even does the smoke dashes.....ahem time dashes.
