We'll microsoft would be better off doing ui and features as a third party for nintnedo and Sony than making games. They were never really good at it.

Really?. Even if you dont like any MS games that doesnt mean they are no good at making them. MS has been making and publishing good games on PC even before the original xbox. And they have made/published many great games on the xbox platform.

Microsoft are good at simulators. I played their flight simulator games since I was a kid. It's probably why forza is so good. They've been doing that stuff forever, but I like the ips Microsoft buys and dedicated teams to more than what they internally make because they lack creative prowess. Any bit of news that you hear about them it's always based now profit or turning people off because of their stringent milking nature like Ubisoft or ea. Microsoft has money so they can survive the tides in this industry as long as they have the core ips under their belt which are halo, forza, gears and mine craft and three of those ip were essentially purchased into by buying to the company or the ip itself. They don't have a real great developmental track record. I mean if you look at the original Xbox what made it great was that the majority of the stand out titles were PC ports, from tecmo or sega (think about it). I've never not owned an Xbox platform, but I know what games are buzzing on Xbox and ms rarely is it ever first party. Even Phil spencer admitted on gamespot a day ago that they still need to work on their first party. That's something neither Nintendo or Sony have had to admit to anyone because their commitment to first party has strong and noted for generations.
