Video games take a long time to make. As I pointed out in an earlier post, any game that they started making after that statement was made, probably woudn't even be shown until E3 2018 at the earliest. That would mean a huge dip in their first and second party output after the end of 2017, since they didn't appear to be making much to replace their current roster of games once they launched.

The number she gave is the number of (what we thought were first/second party) games currently in development. That isn't very many when you consider the number of them that are due out in the next 9-12 months.

You need to look up the definition of bias. Because that is NOT what bias is. Then, after that, you need to go read the OP. Which says nothing about the next 5 years.

So, for tonights homework;

1. Look up bias. Read the definition, and examples.

2. Read the OP from start to finish. Actually do that twice, just for good meassure.

Nothing you stated changes that you are making assumptions on very limited information.  Your statements assume that you understand how MS timeline works with their game publishing and development.  Do you even know the cycle it takes to get a project fully going for MS studios projects.  You state games take a long time but each game does not take the same amount of time as each have different scope, development and planning.

Also when you state 14 games is not a lot, I am wondering what you are comparing that to.  Are you comparing that to how much Nintendo or Sony produce as a company themselves within a set time frame or are you comparing that to the total number of projects coming to one specific platform.  14 projects sounds like a lot for just one Studio and even then we find out this is only MS externally funded First party content.

I actually do not need to reread the OP since it was clear that the OP was basing their opinion on limited information, making assumption on their own limited knowledge of how the MS Studio inner workings and taking one statement from one person who only works for extenal projects and using that as a basis for their opinion.  Maybe if the OP had did their homework they would have know that they were using information on only one part of MS game publishing unit.
