 Quote - Because they cannot create there own.

Hmm Sea of Thieves seems to be a MS created IP. Thats just one out of many games coming out this year. 

You missed the sentence after "that would be considered hot". I have a bad feeling about Sea of Thieves. Quantum Break sold terribly too... I'm not sure Microsoft have created a New IP that sold over 1.5m this generation.

In fact, have Microsoft's Own Studios even made a New IP? Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, Quantum Break... they're not made by Microsoft's Studios.

And I think that's exactly S.T.A.G.E's point.

So now where talking about sales and not new IPs?

Nice twist. Bottom line is MS invest plenty for new ideas. Ori and the Blind forest was a little master piece not long ago and Cuphead seems to be another in 2017. Nothing wrong with 3rd party devs making there games. The ideas and stories all come from MS than MS hire a team to put it togother eg Scalebound being the idea and Platinum games being the hired dev to create it.
