Pound for Pound, Studio for Studio

Trust me when I say if I included support studios. Microsoft would have twenty six studios listed. So yes they have a lot of fucking studios. These studios just seem to be their name brands. At least at the moment. They will probably add more, in the coming months. As their newer studios get established. Quite a few of the studios listed have more then one team to them. They at least have the man power behind them to do such a thing. You shouldn't equate a new studio as shit, because it hasn't delivered a game yet either. Remember Sony recently shit canned three studios.

I am not making any claims as to quality. I am just pointing out that Microsoft now has the same amount of real manpower that Sony has. As far as first party game development is concerned. It isn't a matter of preference, or even of pedigree. It is pretty basic math.

Honestly most of them are a complete mystery. That is part of what makes it exciting. Microsoft went out, and built up a lot of new studios. We know they are working on games, and a little about what the games are in a very general sense, but there aren't a lot of specifics.
