Phil Spencer: Fewer 3rd party exclusives, focus is on 1st party

And that was the Don Mattrick way. So I am hoping Phil Spencer changes things. But I haven't seen anything that I didn't already exect so far in the year and half of Phils reign. 

Instead I see a lot of words and promises that so far just havent been lived up to. That's why I initially said he should walk the walk before talking the talk. 

I think it is two things:

1) I think MS really doesn't care enough to try much of anything else.

2) It takes a lot of effort to launch new IP's / buy new studios.  You can't just "Buy good studios."  Sony had to discover Guerilla Games and Naughty Dog first, or offfer them the best deal  first.  Not every studio is this good, and so again with them not caring...

Sony had already invested in building their own first party before they bought those companies. All it really takes is an interest, especially when inspiring studios you buy to make the type of games you want. Microsoft currently has more studios than their compeition and nowhere near the output.
