Most of the From Software games were Playstation exclusive (Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, King's Field...). 

Don't go there, otogi, ninja blade were Xbox/360 exclusives.

dark souls, Armored core are multi.

You list Xox games and leave out Chromehounds?  

But, Dr Vita is right.  From Software is known for their Playstation roots.  Delivering the majority of the Armored Core franchise to the PSX and PS2 along with King's Field , Shadow Tower, Evergrace, a few robot games from Namco like Another Centuries Episode, etc.  There's very little before the 7th gen that wasn't Playstation exclusive, and that's 20 or 30 something games.

I listed the ones I remember out of my head, quite a few.

But we are on 8th gen now, who cares about prior 7th gen, that's like saying Square Enix is know for its Nintendo roots.

Lords of The Fallen was a hit? 68 meta and very modest sales does not make a hit.

Looking at wikipedia, they don't seem to have released a critically successful game. Does an official Xbox studio mean MS bought them? if so, why?

Well first I must say that the game has a low 70's meta on PC/Xbox One. While semantics, they are technically capable of making a "good" game.

Secondly, it is that factor that could have made said business deal financially feasable for MS. It's modest sales also could not have helped the studios negiotations against MS for more money.

MS was criticized for lacking in 1st party studios last gen, and this makes the most sense, given that they clearly are not getting the lions share of console sales this gen. Keep in mind both MS and Sony have 1st party studios/have published games that score below 70 on metacritic.

Guess with MS, damned if you do, damned if you dont.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

People who like their older games?  Armored Core 5, despite having better graphics and a robust online, trying to make the game the Chromehounds of Armored Core is the worst in the franchise outside of multiplayer which hardly anyone is on, and unlike older games in the series, arenas aren't designed for 1v1, so while you can manufacture some good 1v1 it's just not as enjoyable as past games.  For all the limitations they had the older games are better than AC5 by a landslide and a half.  AC4 is good, For Answer is better, and they're on par with the classics despite playing pretty different.  Hopefully From Software removes the stupid ideas the had in AC5 and realize they're not going to capture the CoD crowd.  Not saying don't push new ideas for the series.  AC4 was good, just don't try and push ideas that dumb down the game to try and get people to join, or shoehorn in large maps that require a large number of players when you don't have and will never have the fanbase for it. 

King's Field, Eternal Ring, and Shadower Tower are more linear versions of the Elder Scrolls game.  Less aimlessly exploring, more progression.  You actually find useful upgrades rather than the 9000th silver sword that you ignore because you pick up two items and you're overweight.  Consumables are very useful with using alchemy on a specific group of items out of 100 to make something worth a damn.  I prefer these games over Elder Scrolls because you're  always finding something new while you explore and you explore to progress.  I'd love to see a new gen King's Field.  For those unaware, announce it from  the creator's of Dark Souls and Bloodborne.  With looking similar to an Elder Scrolls just less open and From Software becoming well known, a new King's Field has a chance to sell well.  Exlusive, multi console.  Who cares, I'd just like to see one.
