Rare has made what? Maybe 3 successful games since joining up with Microsoft? $375 million well spent. Microsoft bought Rare because they wanted them to make the next Goldeneye or Banjo Kazooie for Xbox. Instead they ran several of their of their most beloved franchises into the ground and created a bunch of new IPs that ended up DOA. Rare did not give Microsoft the success they wanted nor did they give the fans the games they wanted. And if you don't believe me you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth.

Viva Pinata
Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero
Kinect Sports 1
Kinect Sports 2
Banjo-Kazooie HD
Banjo-Tooie HD
Killer Instinct
All these were successful
Conker: Live and Reloaded
Banjo Nuts and Bolts
These did ok
Ghoulies
Kinect Sports Rivals
These two were Failures
The thing about their games are, they havent been front loaded. They sell well over time

Viva Pinata got one sequel and then the franchise ended. Kameo never got a sequel. Perfect Dark Zero was the last game in the series. No idea about the Banjo HD games since those were digital but keep in mind that its been 5 years since they released and Microsoft still hasn't done anything with the franchise. Kinect Sports and Killer Instinct all did well yes. The fact that most of these franchises are currently dead should be proof enough that the games didn't perform to Microsoft's expectations.
