Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Scalebound - All 'exclusives' all made by other studios with no input from MS other than money.  Now Tomb raider can be added to the list.

Ok, this is a silly argument for a couple of reasons.  First of all, most of the games you just mentioned, except for titanfall and tomb raider, are all published by microsoft.  That means they had a lot of input on those games.   Also, games published by a console maker are considered first party.  Doesnt matter who the developer is.

second of all, who the freak cares if the developers are owned by the console maker?  What matters is what the library of games are on the consoles.  To that end, I would have no issues with console makers enlisting other studios to make games for them.  To try and twist that into a negative thing just seems incredibly silly to me.  

MS are not paying CD to make a game for them, they are paying them to not release a game on other platforms
