Matt Whitaker writes, Phil Spencer and Microsoft’s Xbox division could have done literally anything to take some of the attention away from the overwhelming success of the PlayStation Experience. They could have given us a piece of Gears of War concept art, released updates on the soon-to-be awesome ID@Xbox program (or abolished the disgusting Parity Clause that’s secretly hurting the Xbox One’s library), or put out legitimate information on how Games with Gold is actually going to get better. We could have been talking about the Xbox One instead of all that is PlayStation this week, but instead Microsoft seemed content with letting Sony steal back momentum after losing Black Friday. Microsoft has come full circle after the disastrous television, I mean Xbox One, reveal, but now is the time to start throwing hay-makers. The Xbox One has seemingly climbed back into what was seen as an impossible fight, though it’s impossible to win without attempting to put down the opponent, no matter the cost.

Sony has a lot of PS4 games to talk about coming in the first half of 2015 alone. If Microsoft had more Xbox One games ready for the same release window, we'd be hearing about them, hence why they didn't try to "steal any thunder". It seems like what they have planned for 2015 for Xbox One is happening in the later half of the year.
Why don't multi-million $ companies do knee-jerk reactions like gamers do with tit for tat announcements /s
Because the got nothing. They didn't even have any presence at the VGA's.
They don't have anything to steal it.
