Dude...Sony has more successfully purchased studios that they revamped and turned into their own opposed to Microsoft. Sorry, but if I were to take your words as fact I would've been misled. Sony directs their companies better. 

Dude, Sony has experienced a lot of failure. Sony has closed numerous studios, Rare is still alive and had success under MS.

Seriously, just give it a rest. You are getting worked up because not all of us hate Rare under MS.



Seriously, you're acting Microsoft hasnt closed studios either. Sony has made more successful first party IP's without outside help then Microsoft has ever made themselves and that is a fact. Microsoft never talks about Sony's IP's because they want to replace them and be the end all be all in the industry, but deep down they respect them, hence why they spent so much money on Tomb Raider and Ryse. Games that emulate Sony's style of development but still cannot seem to match up with the real thing. The only true genre Sony has not covered that Microsoft has always owned because of Halo is the FPS genre and truthfully it shouldn't even matter as long as COD is available and SF5 is on their console. Thats where the majority of gamers will be, but it doesnt mean Sony cannot produce their own fleet of IP's and as I said before they passed Microsoft and Nintendo in IP  last gen in 2011 and continued to steamroll them there as well. Not only will Sony outdevelop Microsoft again this gen but they will have a larger library to boot. 

P.S.

I dont hate Rare under MS. Killer Instinct is one of the reasons I love my Xbox One, but i'm sorry I would have to say I am lying if I believed Rare did anything special with Microsoft outside of the Kinect. Kameo and Pefect Dark Zero were as good as it got and thats not much compared to their time with Nintendo. Goldeneye, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie, Wave Racer, Killer Instinct, Battletoads and much, much more were titles brilliantly executed while being second party for Nintendo. Microsoft is just doing what they do best and thats buying everyones IP's because they have the biggest wallet. Thats the reality. They have accomplished nothing in terms of being an IP development force. All of the games they got their hands on were coming away, and only needed a publisher.

With that said....Microsoft is doing a commendable job of keeping the Xbox One stocked with amazing games even though they haven't had a major exclusive in nine months. I am still enjoying it much more than my PS4 because of my backlog that I've built up since last Christmas.
