But at the same time their biggest franchises (excluding Forza) are on the decline, and they can't continue on with basically no first party. M$ is in a really tough spot right now. I still say they should keep tossing money at smaller titles like recore and Ori and hope some turn out great. An added benefit is that those smaller projects should be portable to Windows Phone soon enough, which would tie into their whole universal Windows thing quite well.

i agree. Halo, Forza and Gears wont be able to sustain them forever. of course they can always sign new deals with second party publishers to make new games. but if they do, they need to find the root of the problems they had that has made them have so many failures and very little successes. (outside of forza, gears and halo). 

I feel like maybe Halo can make a comeback, but only if they find a way to diversify the IP somehow... and make that damn movie!

But yeah, M$'s critical and commercial track record this gen has been shockingly disappointing, to say the least. I'm sure their executives are really scratching their heads at this point. *sigh* At least Cuphead looks good, if that counts.
