How about Nier? Persona? Shadow of the the Colossus? Bloodborne? The ps4 exclusive lineup is out of thisbworld for all tastes tbh. Some of the best games of the generation period are exclusive.
While I agree, people do have different and sometimes limited tastes/interests. Sony first party games are my favorites and along with Nintendo first party the main things I play and the main reasons I still game. That said a huge chunk of Sony's exclusives are narrative driven, third person action/adventure type games and not everyone likes those and I don't think it appeals to "all tastes."
For instance, most of my friends lists on Xbox from when I had a 360 and was playing a lot of CoD, Halo and Gears pretty much only play those games, mayber some Madden and Forza too. They don't play story driven games in general, don't play RPGs, don't care about any Sony exclusives and view them as "interactive movies" etc. Most of them just bought an X1 and have stuck with just that and when I see my list on the Xbox app they're all still playing the latest CoD or Battlefield or someother multiplatform shooter, or Halo/Gears, or Forza or GTAV etc.
Sony exclusives don't really offer much for FPS fans. Just Killzone Shadowfall MP really. Uncharted for people that like TPS, but a lot of people don't.
Same with Nintendo diehards. Sony doesn't have a lot for them beyond some games that vaguely feel Nintendoish like LBP and Ratchet and Clank.
Sony is my main and probably always will be as long as they keep making third person, narrative driven games as those are my favorite. But it's definitely not "out of this world for all tastes." They have their strengths in their library, and MS and Nintnedo have theirs.

This is a reductionist argument. It's not one or the other. You can have both. Xbox is struggling with 1st party right now but what about when they aren't? BC will still exist.
Definitely true.
Only issue is there may never be a time when they don't struggle with first party for some of us. I had an original Xbox (bought primarily for KOTOR), 360 (Gears to be fair was a selling point, but I mostly played multiplats) and X1 (for exclusvies, but sold off when Play Anywhere started).
There first party games just don't appeal to me much. I loved Gears 1-3, but Judgement sucked and 4 was just ok. Halo I've always been lukewarm on and 4 and 5 weren't great. And so on. Their strengths don't really fall in genres I play the most and they seem unlikely to branch out and cover as many genres as Sony can (and even they are limited in coverage). They don't get the benefit of multiplats with me anymore either as I can get those with better performance on PC.
