Imho microsofts best new ip of the gen wasn't even theirs and came from sonys best second party.

Cool.

I guess that would make them a pretty great MS second party also.

Sony owns the ips insomniac made for them (hence why they left). They wanted one to themselves. Microsoft was just a publisher. The franchise could go anywhere at anytime. They we're third party for Microsoft.
