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. With Rare its hit or miss because Microsoft has Rares IP but if the Rare of old was around with the Stamper Bros at the helm they would've had like ten new IP's out from the time Microsoft bought them. Microsoft owns their IP's not their soul.
I am only siding with Sony because they are the safer bet when it comes to game development and their creativity on an administrative level vastly outpaces Microsoft. As it stands right now that is just a fact. Microsoft is better at acquiring third party games and adding them to their exclusive ranks to patch up what they lack.

Lol so which is it.. should they invest in growing their own stable of studios or not? Seems petty to criticize them for "buying games" (which is something all 3 companies do anyway) but then when given a list of just some of their internal studios, dismissing them as unknown or not "very impressive". I mean, Naughty Dog started out with some shitty games and yet Sony trusted them with Crash Bandicoot. Guerrilla Games hadn't made any games with great praise and Sony stuck with them, I am sure you would consider them a big member of Sony's studio stable. Sony paid thatgamecompany, a studio with 0 games under their belt IIRC, for 3 exclusive games and they ended up being what? Flower, Journey, and Flow? Quantic Dream, Ready at Dawn, Ninja Theory, Sucker Punch, Team Ico, Evolution Studios, the list could go on regarding "unknown" or "not very impressive" studios Sony has either started or contracted with for exclusive games and I think in most of those cases you would agree it bolstered their lineup of developers and they released some quality games.
So congrats, they're doing what you have been wanting them to do. Maybe give them some credit or at worst take a wait and see approach instead of continuing to criticize.

My point is don't boast about what isn't top notch or hasn't even started yet.

lol @ boasting.
you: lulz ms buying up gamez again they need to expand dat 1st party!
him: they are expanding, see look at this list
you: lol quit boasting!
It's ok, I didn't expect you to stop criticizing. It's like the 180 on all the Xbone "bad stuff", first you were griping because it was there and you wanted it gone, then when it was gone you started griping that it was there at all in the first place.

If it isn't so then why do they need the first game exclusivity of Titanfall? Zampella confirmed that microsoft closed the deal to have the first game be exclusive on Twitter to the Xbone on next gen consoles. It wont last as it never does. Its even worse to do it this gen than last gen because all the third party exclusives dry up because you're both competing rather than one console having a eight million console lead on the other.
