When It comes to RARE the "subjective" argument is nothing but a scapegoat for Xbox fans who don't want to accept the truth. If an opinion can be wrong, you are the one who's wrong.

 

Rares best games were from the Nintendo era, thats why Microsoft bought them. They still havent been able to replicated the Stamper brothers/ Nintendo era for Microsoft which was the sole reason they were purchased. They are just a shell and a name. 

 

No, no, no... Rare was purchased because MS wanted to appeal to casual gamers. Rare delivered good games, some arguably better than their N64 games, but without Nintendo's casual audience sales were modest.

People act like Rare faded into obscurity under MS. In reality they made some good games, had some million sellers, and even had a big hit with Kinect Sports. They got a game coming and their classic IPs are still being used. Rare didnt make the new KI but MS made damn good use of that IP.

Regardless of what reason MS bought Rare, it certainly wasnt a boondoggle. They had some success and MS got a lot of classic IPs they can work with down the road.
