MS may be shutting down all 1st party development. To my knowledge, their 1st party game development has never been stellar, in the profits dept. -- they may very well view their role as 2nd-party publisher and hardware manufacturer as being more worthwhile, and axing their 1st party dev studios would be the end result of this decision.
Next to go: Rare, after BK release.
