Microsoft's video game producion is the worst it's ever been. 343i, The Coalition, Turn 10 and Rare are the only first party stuios they have that make games.

Sadly true. They also threw away some of my favorite studio's like Ensemble and Lionhead, Anvil and FASA Interactive over the years.
With that in mind, they only need one game to be the "Next" Halo. And then it all becomes irrellevent.
The 360 didn't sell as much as it did on the back of exclusives... But the Playstation 3 did turn everything around on the back of exclusives, so there is a precedent for both still allowing each platform to be successfull.

I just wish they would have come out last year when I was very hopeful for the Xbox. But what can ya do. I think 343 should start a separate project from Halo personally. I'm a bit worried about Sea of Thieves. It's looking to be the next Fable Legends, not much hype around it, will probably be quietly cancelled or will die out after release. At least Fable Legends had some Fable fans going.

Please don't jinx it. :( I am hoping Sea of Theaves is a return to form for Rare.
Whilst their prior games like Viva Pinata, Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo Kazooi Nuts and Bolts were good... They weren't exactly super ground breaking and drove massive sales.
Microsoft's advertising engine needs to get behind it.

sorry dude but it's just so weird. The Xbox community doesn't really seem to gravitate towards new or different projects. Recore was such a silent release despite having such famous developers...most people have probably forgotten Cuphead by now. I don't see most of Microsofts expansions towards other genres working out. But hey, let's hope so. I'd love Rare to make creative things again, even if it's out of their comfort zone.
