Problem is, that Phill have promised for like 4-6 years to improve 1st party. And we have had people in the site defending that it isn't something he can do over night, but then on 6 month window they buy/increase/create 5-10 studios? It clearly shows that it wasn't something in the top of their list until now, and he have been lying for a long time.

Read Ryuu's comment. It sums up perfectly the situation with Xbox. I'm sure if it was up to Phil, he would've improved 1st party presence sooner than he had, but with Xbox still being under the Windows division and Phil having to report to Terry Myerson, he only had so much power. Shortly after Xbox became its own division and Phil became executive VP, Xbox started buying up studios and increasing their 1st party. It's not a coincidence. 

So he was promising before having power to do so?

lol people are so quick to accuse execs of lying on this site, it’s crazy.

So since you are saying he wasn't lying, them the reason for taking 4+ years to honoring the promise to increase 1st party content was?
