Yeah Microsoft can't afford third party games........

Don't bother with them. They're obviously Playstation fans. I guess Recore, Scalebound, Halo, Gears, Forza,Fable,Killer Instinct, Quantum Break, Sea of Theives, Crackdown and more isn't a sign of Microsoft building a great first party lineup. Not to say Sony isn't ,but still.  Microsoft still does third party deals like Madden and fallout. They just rather put more emphasis on first party games.

Recore,Scalebound and Quantum Break asre not owned by MS.Just like Alan Wake,which Remedy said the sequel could go to PS4 depending on the publisher.Killer Instinct already existed way before the Xbox and is just a download fighting game not on par with the likes of MK and SF.Sea of thoeves looks like a lame free to play game from a developer that has turned to crap.Really you are just naming games even though they are un proven and the same games like Halo,Fable,Gears and Crackdown are already established so it is easy to do sequels as you see  with the milking of Fable.MS lacks the pedigree that Sony and Nintendo has when it comes to first party and that is the truth.
