Lol, I find your defensiveness here amusing. Where did I post anything that made you think that? Was it just because I pointed out that your statement was factually incorrect? You said "MS also has new stuff like Scalebound, Sunset Overdrive and Project Spark." And I said that that was wrong, none of them are MS projects, that's like saying The rise of the Tomb Raider is an MS project just because it's exclusive (Project Spark isn't even exclusive, it's coming to PC and the 360 as well). Now if you want to have a discussion were you won't make assumptions on what other people think I'm okay with that, but you can't go around saying things that are plain wrong without expecting to be called out on it.

I'm just saying, you pointed out the three games I listed while talking as if the new studios don't exist. 

Anyway, as for the three games, how are they not MS projects? Microsoft doesn't have to own the studio for the game to be a "1st party game". They funded the titles. I'm not insisting that every exclusive that shows up on Xbox is a "MS game", but the three that I listed definately are. Others have said MS doesn't invest in first party content. I was using those examples and the studios to show that they clearly do. 

MS has to own the studio for it to be a 1st party game. That's the definition of a 1st party game. I'm not sure for all of them but for Sunset Overdrive MS doesn't own the IP, Insomniac does. I doubt MS owns the IP for Project Spark because it's coming to PC. You're using 3rd party games as an argument for MS 1st party.
