Microsoft is investing in their first party studios like never before.

Crackdown could still be saved.  The second game was bad - a rushed cash grab that MS forced so that they could have another exclusive.  But that franchise has potential if given time and resources to really innovate.  (And Crackdown 2 still sold nearly a million units, despite horrible reviews.)  They'd have their work cut out for them after the bad taste left by C2, but there's an audience there for a quality game.  Hell - I just sold my used copy for $17 on Glyde, which is actually pretty decent for how old/not great that game was.  

I don't get the hate for that game. It seemed a lot more fun than the first one. There was a little more variety than. Find bad guy, kill bad guy... :P
