True, at the end it will probably be 85-86m for the 360 and 50-52m for the XBO. The 360 has the Kinect in the latter part of the generation to give it breath of new life and I doubt the same will happen for the XBO.

In 2013 the PS4 sold like 4m and XBO like 3m and that was with all the backlash MS got.I think having a big launch is pretty much a given for both companies. What matters is how the generation pans out after the first few launch months.

All the studios they currently have and the new ones are going at a rapid pace. And yeah not all the games need to release at once but MS will give them time too cook so we could see a steady release stream of games which is what they are probably going for since they have gamepass now. They also publish 2nd party games so there's that. Here is what we know so far for their studios.

343I- Has been growing and is working on Halo Infinite while updating MCC.

Rare- Has been growing and has 100-150 on SoT and 80 started working on their new game during the summer.

Coalition- Working on Gears 5, and Gears Tactics. They too has been growing.

Mojang- Working on Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons.

Undead Labs- Has been growing and working on State of Decay 2 content. Probably started early production on a new game.

Compulsion- Has been growing and updating We Happy Few.

Playground- Has been working and they have a Forza Horizon and Fable team.

InXile- Has been growing, has 2 teams now. Working on Wasteland 3, Bards Tale remaster, and they have an unannounced project.

Ninja Theory- Has been growing and they have multiple games in development. Their are rumors that their "Bleeding Edge" game is nearing final stages of development.

Obsidean- They are working on the Outer Worlds.

The Initiative- They have been hiring some top talent from Rockstar, Crystal Dynamics, Guerrilla Games etc. Im expecting a huge new IP from them.

And MS are still looking at studios to buy. Overall MS will be competitive next gen when it comes to first party and I think this will help them have a better generation.

I dont doubt that they will have a much better Gen. With more studios you get more games and no matter the quality of said games, more is always better. But thats not my argument. Is that is foolish to believe that thouse new smal teams are gona come out swiging with major exclusives "GOW" caliber right out the gate. Im saying it wont be untill like at least mid gen untill thouse new guys bring out anything good. At the begining aside from the big 3 halo gears and forza, all we will see is fodder to build up gamepass.

GOW 4 is 2018s GOTY and considered to be one of Sonys best games. It will be hard for them to deliver a game of that quality but it's not as foolish to think that their new studios could deliver on something like that.

Undead, inXile, and compulsion games probably won't but the other new studios are capable.

Playground Games lowest reviewed game is Forza Horizon 1 at 85 and their last 2 games scored in the 90s. They have the talent to make a GOW 4 caliber Gable game.

Ninja Theory made Hellblade with a small budget while developing multiple games for other publishers. Now they have the funds and creative freedom to do whatever they want.

Obsidean devevloped Fallout New Vegas which is considered by many to be the best Fallout game. They have lots of talented devs and the Outer Worlds look promising.

And yeah the Initiative has been hiring some of the industries best. They even have quite a few people that worked on GOW XD.

Im not saying that MS new studios will create a GOW caliber game though but some of their studios are definitely capable of doing so.
