k looked it up. Seems MS has 6 studios, 4 of which make games for the Xbox.

1.Lionhead makes Fable plus some PC games (The Movies, Black and White). They are almost certainly spent for at least 2-3 years after Fable 2 as they work on something new.

2.Rare....Who knows what the Hell Rare is doing, they haven't released an N64 quality game yet on the 360. Their last good game was Conker on the N64 in what....2002? Maybe the new Banjo will be better then it looks, who knows.

Wingnut Interactive which only works in collaboration with bungee (seemingly on something halo related, maybe that Recon game. Sam Fisher/Snake in space!)

3.Turn 10 with their Forza games.

Other then that there are just a few live development studios that are loosely affiliated and ACES which makes the flight simulator PC/Iphone games.

4.On the other hand they've killed 6 studios in the last 18 months or so, more then they left open. At the same time they have not opened any new ones at all.

1.  Lionhead has been hard at work on another game for at least a year.

2.  Rare made Viva Pinata and Viva Pinata 2, both of which are easily N64 quality.  Kameo is also awesome (though admittedely not AS awesome).  Judging by demo impressions, the next Banjo appears to be N64 quality.

3.  Rumour has it Turn 10 are making Project Gotham Racing 5 AND Forza Motorsport 3.

4.  Microsoft is in the process of opening a new studio (starts with an "s").  Apparently it's absorbing a lot of the people that were left when they decided to close Ensemble.
