You have clearly got a wrong view on things. Sony and Nintendo aquire companies and sell companies all the time. Bungie was sold via Microsoft's choice and look what happened to Bungie, Destiny was nothing but a down hill attempt. Bungie were a much better company under MS than Activision.
MS are more about holding IPs than holding companies in the Xbox devision because in a buisness sense its not very profitable holding onto companies when 70% of them dont turn a profit.
Sony said 4 out of 10 1st party games make money, abit like Xbox 1st party games except Sony is willing to keep gambling with them while MS choose to let them go. Two different mind sets. However you cant argue why MS is considered one of the richest companies in the world due to there management.
Killer Instinct lasted 3 seasons and possible more with many fans loving the game. The game is a good success story regardless if you like it or not and it still runs tournaments to this very day, not bad for a launch title. Ori is another great IP and one of the best new IPs this gen and MS didn't have to own the company to create it.
You should probably check out the games on Xbox and see how many new IPs they have. Some havnt been successfull like Project Spark and Scream Ride however they are there and were created.
Sea of Thieves and Cuphead coming out soon with many others i dont keep track of.

And you may guess why a lot here preffer the company that knows 60% of their releases won't make money or will even lose right? Variety of choice, risk oriented and may struck a solid hit and create new good IPs. While Xbox is stagnant.

And you think thats got to do with more 1st party games? And it has nothing to do with marketing, word of mouth, price and perception?
I check the best selling PS4 games and in the top 10 only 1 makes the list? Thats strange because if what your saying is true than gamers buy PS4s for there 1st party games.. but the graphs arent showing that. Same goes for Xbox. 1st party games is more a bragging right for fans than it is a reality in sales.
If you compare launch line up of games the X1 actually had the better line up of games for the start of the generation before games like Bloodborn arrived so clearly that cant be why PS4s sold so much more at the start and even now.
Marketing is a powerful tool.
