None of the studios MS bought brought any new game to Xbox, all of those were either already making 2nd party games or were 3rd party multiplat devs. Xbox was never a poor division, at most is was a poorly managed one, sure you can also say it wasn't a profitable one as well.

Well ya, they are honouring the existing contracts. Grounded I think is the first game from their new studios. I can certainly argue Xbox never had the budget or full backing of MS as a whole. Poorly managed in the past you got that right though. 

Point being you can’t just build studios when you have a lacking games narrative. It’s scrappy and competitive when the underdog does it. When the winner does it it’s just tightening their grip. 

Nope you didn't understand the point. Even if all the games from all the studios MS bought were shifted to be exclusive (let's ignore that can't be made) it wouldn't mean MORE games for Xbox as you claim, all those games were already going to Xbox anyway.

MS had 6 years in the gen to build these studios, what they done? On the last year of the gen they bough 15 or so. Please don't insult our intelligence saying they didn't had time to build studios.

AFAIK You're under no contractual obligation to release your game on Steam. You merely forfeit the submission fee.

Shows it can happen. We dont know the contract details but Ill be sure majority of games would have similar agreements on consoles, i daubt there would be heavy restrictions on 3rd party games with no influence from major console makers.

If you made a contract and paid for it you can be sure there is a lot of restrictions. And usually purchase of companies have a clause that the new owner will honor all current contracts.
