Why did Microsoft buy Rare in the first place? Nobody except hardcore Rare gamers would actually buy them on an X1, because the audience is mostly comprised of "mature" gamers.

With the purchase of Rare they got some noteworthy IPs. A notable one at the moment is Killer Instinct, one of the great fighting series ever and the new game is great.

MS bought them in hopes of bringing a casual audience to Xbox and it was actually pretty successful. Several of their games have sold a million or millions. VGChartz isn't tracking them properly by the way.

If anything, Rare helps make MS's 1st party lineup more well rounded.

Lolz.

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. 

This.
