"You can't wake up one day and say, 'Let me build a game studio,'" Nadella said in an interview after the company announced its $7.5 billion cash purchase of ZeniMax Media, which owns several industry-leading game developers, including Bethesda Softworks and Id Software. "The idea of having content is so we can reach larger communities."

That's why Microsoft will consider buying even more video game companies in the future, he said, and why it continues to invest in its Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

Good going Sony. You've awakened the bear. 

M$ is a bully. M$ should help the industry grow by making new ips. Sony did that with Uncharted, Horizon, Zero dawn, the last of us, infamous, etc. This is what gets the industry moving. i'll no be surprised if the buy Take2.

Starfield is a new IP ;)

Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo also new IP from Xbox, but that dastardly Sony gave MS bags of money to make it timed exclusive for PS instead. Sony is the bully...stealing Xbox 1st party exclusives. 

(This is me poking fun obviously) 

But seriously if we talking new IPs, then we got Sea of Thieves, Everwild, Avowed, State of Decay, Forza Horizon, Minecraft Dungeons, and Gears Tactics (spinoffs but different genres then source IP). Bringing back old IPs like Flight SIM, Killer Instinct, Battletoads, Psychonauts. Published new Ips like Ryse, Quantum Break, Ori, Tell Me Why.
