Probably won't change much using your interpretation of first party. M$ looks at it like most large corporations, they try to outsource things whenever it is convenient(especially creative things). It's easier for them to just buy exclusivity of a title, as it probably has a large chunk of the concept development behind it and there is a very defined idea to "buy into". Because the PS brand has historically outsold the Xbox brand, it is easy for a lot of smaller developers to just develop for the PS's knowing there will be an install base eventually worldwide. We will see how the small(indie) developers treat this generation once there is an actual install base to work from.
