They really need to learn how to make their own ips. I will enjoy tomb raider but this is twice now.

Halo and gears are IPs that were bought from outside developers. If you look at the list of IP created or spawned from Microsoft owned studios the list Is rather paltry.

Bungie was bought by Microsoft. Not Halo

 

If Microsoft never bought halo then how does it own the IP? 

 

Also a decent chunk of you seem to be confusing what first second and third party exclusives mean. The point to my post was that ms does not risk money on creative ideas, they're clearly far more fond of buying there way to success instead as opposed to the other two major console platforms.
