We know the games and we know the goods. But just in case you can't quite tally the number of exclusives each next-gen console has in their line-up, we did it for you. The Xbox One has quite a few on the list here, is that enough for you to over-look their bad marketing? The Playstation 4 has a few big-named ones as well. The good news in the equation is that's an extremely large multi-platform list!

I would consider Dragon Age Inquisition, Star Wars Battlefront, Thief, Watch Dogs, and InFamous: Second Son as must-have titles, but I don't see Titanfall on those lists.
What do you mean... Titanfall wasn't on the list?

I've been trying to tally the exclusives list in my head, it's nice to see it laid out like this. My personal must play list: Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Project Spark, The Division, Dragon Age Inquisition, FFXIV, *E*SO.
Microsoft did fail the marketing war, but I really don't see how they had a choice in the matter. They had to announce their console before E3, and any talk at E3 had to be about games or there would have been a riot on their hands. I think things ran the way they needed to based on their announcement. If they had announced the XBO in January then they would have had a little more leeway with how they ran their E3 announcement, but as it stands they sort of locked themselves in with the timing of their initial announcement.
That's true. It felt like Microsoft rushed everything. The "I want it out there now" mentality. Even though I think this is a bad idea, MS knows for a fact what happens if you're late to the party (releasing the Xbox 360 LONG before the Playstation 3) so they didn't want to be caught in their own mess.
The thing is though, I think Microsoft is a dominant-enough of a force to wait it out a bit -- just give it more time and execute perfectly. Xbox is a household name. Even if PS4 comes first, people will ALWAYS wonder "what's the new Xbox going to be like?" and that would have hyped the console even further. It would make every feature of the Xbox seem more revolutionary. Now, they throw out "DRM", "Always online" and it hurts them. At this point, Microsoft is marketing the PS4 and Sony doesn't have to do anything.
I feel eventually, both consoles will level-out as Sony wants to add-in features that Xbox has while MS will remove features that Sony doesn't have. That's when we'll have a true answer of what ended up being the superior device.
