Seems like MS wasted millions of dollars funding a game that failed and don't even get a franchise out of it.

If it was profitable, I don't think its considered a waste.

Sounds like it did pretty well if MS wanted to do more. Buying the IP seems like something MS could do at this rate as well.

LOL 0.91M thus far on next gen development cost. Don't forget this game was announced for X360 Kinect at E3 2010 and was delayed for years until Crytek scrapped the Kinect style and used the assets for what you see today. There is no way in hell this is profitable. Just because MS wanted more of it doesn't mean it did well. They just want more first party IP's to compete with and they'll use cash like toilet paper to do so.
