If I counted well, they have 18 studios dedicated for game development, and I left out some, which are just helping 1st and 3rd party development, or only having intrest making mobile games for the Windows Phone platform. It certainly looks great, but they have a lot of unproven studios. The biggest thing will probably come from Black Tusk Studios who are "creating a major franchise for Microsoft to rival their popular Halo franchise."
