True. MS unfairly gets criticized for not making new IPs. They've been the second best when it comes to adding new IPs to their catalogue this gen. It's the 3rd parties that are really lagging. MS Studios: Quantum Break Recore Sea of Thieves Crimson Dragon Ori and the Blind Forest Screamride KALIMBA ***They also funded a couple new IPs that they don’t own like Ryse and Sunset Overdrive.

The one thing I can say though is that the new IPs MS created were early on, the latest entry on that list is Sea of Thieves which was announced at E3 2015 over 2 and half year ago, since then nothing. One can assume that these new IPs were in production before Phil took over, and since he's become the head of xbox new IPs have ceased to exist. I really don't understand why this guy has fanboys when he's clearly putting his efforts into the wrong places and ignoring the thing us core gamers really want which is games and new IPs. Instead he's more interested in backwards compatibility and has cancelled more games than he's green lit.

That's the thing, I said FUNDED because some of those games may not exist, at least not as they do, without MS funding them.
That includes Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, and Cuphead. There are projects that were funded by MS but didn't stay exclusive like Super Time Force comes to mind.
Then there are games like Lococycle, Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, D4, Project Spark, and Powerstar Golf.
So MS's situation is a little different considering they're more open to funding games they don't own.
People talk about wanting new IPs but old IPs can come back as unique products as well. Either way, MS is funding games, new and old IPs.
