Project Spark, Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, Quantum Break, ReCore, Scalebound, and Sea of Thieves. 

Aren't those games 2nd party? Just curious...

Why does it matter? Sony and NIntendo publish plenty of second party games and those are considered "Sony/Nintendo new IPs". 

As for Sunset Overdrive, Insomniac owns the IP, and that's why they went to MS. I honestly didn't know that until I looked it up just now.
