Exactly. Microsoft hasn't done much of anything. Most of their work was done by outside companies. This is why they continue to depend on outside companies. They let money trump creativity. They can buy the best developers in the world with the best tech, but they could never direct them to make the next best new IP. Why not? Not because they can't. Its because Microsoft internally doesn't endorse creativity.

Sure, MS didn't have any influence on the RTS or TPS game that Halo was going to be. Bungie didn't have a clue what to do with the game protoype before MS's acquisition.

But sure, all those downloadable titles before this gen don't count because somebody found Arcade and Indy titles last year for 8th gen.

Money sometimes trumps creativity but MS doesn'tuse it to copy competition's games.

Halo was coming with or without Microsofts help. Online gaming was also coming. Deal with it.

 Learn this. No game is completely without inspiration. Sony copied some of Nintendos games (Mario Kart and Super Smash), because they want to compete for the couch space as well, but Sony is more than that. If you are going to hold Sony just to those things you've ignored their entire existence.
