I think Microsoft knows this. Whic is why they spent the last 4 years making new First party studios. Theres studios we haent heard from yet. Microsoft now have alot of First party studios.
Here is the list of TEN Microsoft's first-party studios working on untitled projects:
- Connected Experiences – Untitled Project – Design Large scale multiplayer title and help other first party studios
- Kids and Lifestyle Entertainment – Next generation fitness project - Original IP
- Platform Next Studios – Next generation title
- Playful Learning – Next generation family project
- Lionhead Studios – Fable series, Black & White series, Unannounced MMO-like New IP - (2 team studio - unannounced next generation title)
- Lift London – Multiple AAA Cloud Based gaming projects (4+)
- Rare Ltd. – Banjo-Kazooie series, Viva Piñata series, Perfect Dark series, Conker series, Killer Instinct series, Kameo: Elements of Power, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Jetpac series, Kinect Sports series- (3 team studio - Concurrent development of various titles)

- Microsoft Studios Osaka- Unannounced projects
There are others, but these studios of whic many are new are confirmed working on titles.

None of those studios are known or are very impressive. Killer Instinct wasn't even made by Rare. Just shows you how far Microsofts faith in them goes. Stop listing unproven studios.

I could argue the exact same thing for most of Sonys 1st party studios, given their sales records the past gen, established or not. So what if Rare didn't make KI? Just means they are being put to use on other projects.
Only you would take MS's increased efforts and still make them out to be the crook. Stop padding your own ego.

Why so insecure?
Sony Japan/ TeamIco- Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Ape Escape, Siren, Knack and collaborative efforts on titles like Demon Souls and Patapon.
Naughty Dog (Split into two teams)- Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, The Last of Us.
Sony Santamonica- God of War, Warhawk and numerous collaborative development games including the Order 1886. Sony's go to team to save failing projects. I wont even list all of their collaborations. If Sony lets this company loose making their own games full time its all over.
Polyphony. Digital- Gran Turismo
Honorable mention:
Sucker Punch- Sly Cooper & InFamous (they are not exactly there yet with the other four but this gen it looks like they are going to get a lot of public attention)
Top 4 of the greatest gaming companies of all time (Sucker Punch isnt there yet but they are getting there). I am listing results not companies that have little to show for their efforts. Bungie was Microsofts golden goose. They got their IP and Bungie is gone, so no more exclusive
