Wait, what?

First off all, no, it's not like Sony started investing in first party titles in 2007. Yes, after the disastrous launch of PS3 Sony needed to reinvest in first-party games, but the PS1 and PS2 eras had a lot of Sony-published titles. In fact, I'd argue PS2 was the company's best era for homegrown games. Titles like Ico, SotC, Jak, Ratchet, GoW, and others made 2001-2007 a halcyon age for Sony.

As for Phil, I'm done. It's enough already. I don't think I've ever seen a figure in the video game industry whose words and promises are so painfully out of touch with his actions (or the actions of his department). Just tell us the truth: that you're not going to invest in first-party games in the way Sony and Nintendo do; that you're going to rely on "AAA" third-party games to keep hardware sales afloat; that you're going to continue to move first-party games to GamePass because subscription dollars from Xbox Live and Game Pass are the future for Xbox; and that upcoming Microsoft-published games will feature a heavy focus on post-launch content and online multiplayer, to ensure the steady flow of those subscription dollars.

It's not even a bad thing! It makes financial sense for the company, even though it turns me off. Just own it.

They might improve their 1st party for next generation, but to the extent Sony and Nintendo have?...I don´t see it, Sony alone has like, 3 times as many studios while also letting them spread their wings to try new things.

MS´s focus seems to be Gaas, multiplayer heavy games.

By then Sony's will be even far more seasoned.....they are too far behind barring sony's studios imploding.
