So cinematic experiences like DriveClub, inFamous, GT: Sport, God of War, Gravity Rush 2, Knack, Dreams, Horizon, MLB, Hot Shots Golf, The Last Guardian, Days Gone can't top MS vaulted first party of Gears, Halo, Forza, Sea of Thieves & Crackdown? 

MS first party has been subpar this gen, there is simply no way around it, the only new IP coming out is Sea of Thieves. Halo + Gears are not even made by the original developers, don't know why we'd give MS first party a ton of credit, as both games are underperforming sales wise & have seen their lowest metascore for the mainline games. MS has not created many exciting IP's on their own IN THREE GENS. How this reminds you of Nintendo, well, that is a mystery.

What? Does that even matter when the core game is intact?

Gears is made by the same person that envisioned the mechanics of the first one. You wouldn't know that though.

People give MS first party ton of credit because they emphasize a lot on gameplay. They have fantastic MP games for every genre they're on, not every publisher can say that.
