I know which one has better games.
Only if you're admitting it's the Xbox.
Xbox has been dominating the first party exclusives race for a couple years now (there is no comparison). But so far, in 2024, Xbox is winning the third party exclusives race too. Simply because of one game: Palworld. That isn't by accident though. MS's investment in the "id@xbox" program led to Palworld. Here's an article from 2021 where you can find a previous game from PocketPair on the list of id@xbox titles. This game was an Xbox exclusive not because of any deals with MS but because of MS's investments in indie developers.
The biggest game to date of 2024 owes its success to its partnership with Xbox. It is nonsensical for them to throw in the towel right as everything they've been doing for multiple years now starts to bear fruit.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with TD0421, but he is right. You have a colossal blindspot when it comes to this stuff and you let your biases delude you into these outrageous claims. I see you in other threads on this site and most of the time, you are correct (or, at the worst, reasonable) when it comes to whatever you are arguing. When it comes to Xbox though, you are not at all based in reality.
Let's look at 2023 exclusives for Xbox
Hi-Fi Rush - Fun, well-made AA game. Realistically, does not move the needle or make it without GP.
Redfall - Absolute shite.
Starfield - Gigantic letdown for the vast majority of fans. I understand that you enjoyed it and that's fine, but that is not the consensus. It has a Mostly Negative review rating on Steam for gods sake LMAO. This was supposed to be the blockbuster that saved Xbox and turned the tides, but it ended up doing the opposite.
Forza - Decent critic reviews, massive letdown for the community, relatively niche genre, very low sales thanks to GP. Given its budget, yikes.
In a down year for Sony exclusives, Playstation still had Spiderman 2 (a bigger release than all of Xbox's put together - fastest selling PS game ever) and FF XVI. Sony still won in a year where they had TWO exclusives

To claim that Xbox won 2023 is silly enough. To claim its won multiple years in the past and that it hasnt been close? Absolutely delusional. Come on man

Define throwing in the towel. If MS is is ditching consoles, and thats still a big if, and realigning to focus on IPs and the development of Game Pass as bigger gaming platform is that really throwing in the towel?
