I don't think making a studio is necessary. They simply need to encourage these studios to put games on their console even if MS has to fund part of it.

Western studio tend to put their games on as many viable platform as possible. But Japanese studios tend to make exclusives pretty often.

Nonsense. Its completely necessary. Its already been shown time and again that they will ignore the Xbox One in favor of just doing a PlayStation version, or maybe a Vita version. If MS gets the ball rolling, and show that their games can be made on Xbox One with little extra effort, and that its a extra market for their products, then they might start doing it themselves. But until then MS needs to step up.

Besides Sony already does this and nobody complains.

Extra effort? It SHOULD take less effort to put their games on Xbox One than port games PS3 or Vita. PS4 and X1 have similar specs and arcitecture, unlike PS3 and Vita.

If countless indie studios can support both PS4 and X1, then so can Japanese studios. Ignoring Xbox is ignoring a signficiant western audience, go figure.
