I think M$ is ensuring that another Bungie doesn't happen. if you have a corpaorate structure, and you have corporate entities within the corporate entity, this create a climate of us vs. them to extreme. Bungie and M$ parted ways on pleasant terms as far as we know, but M$ couldn't have been happy. I think when you look at the success of nintendo's 1st party software library, M$ feels warm and fuzzy about the prospects of turn M$ Game Studios into something more than a clearing house for finished products. I actually expect to see M$ Game Studios ramping up on exclusive titles in the coming year, leading into the next console...really smart move, imho.

 

Yep, that is exactly what is happening.  They are wanting devs to be thought of as being a part of M$, not as a studio that they own.
