This thread is the embodyment of the state of xbox first party. And its hillarious.
2015
Worst library in gaming history. Gamers complaining. Sales tanking.

2018
Necrobump. Ms buys a bunch of studios. Everyone hyped. Things are finally turning around. Still zero new big games come out outside the Trinity. Dosent matter to xbox fans.

2021
Necrobumb again. Ms buys Bethesda. In 6 years there are still no games to graze the xbox oustide the Trinity and crack down wich was a laughing stock. Halo infinite delayed and got ridiculed. No games launching with a new gen console. But fans finally see the light cuz some cg trailers where shown and not even a hint of a realease date. Some solhowed so little that they where basicly still pictures in perfect dark. So basicly concept art. And talks about the concept of a game in project mara with nothing started. Yet fans rave.

I really dont know what to say. What exactly are fans happy about? I have yet to see anything. Im very confused.

They turned around their first party, they were barely hanging on with 5 studios at one point and have 23 now. There's aren't just meaningless numbers, there's real studios actively making games. The games are coming, are they going to be good? We obviously have to wait and see but MS did reverse their studio situation that is fact.

What you should be confused about is the way you and others act like these studios aren't real until they release something, despite most of them have either just released something in the last 1-2 years are has something coming out in the next 1-2 years. Game development y'all.

I do understand that. Seriously I do. But still you guys are counting studios like if they are games. And like for like a studio is never the same. Cuz again 3 years ago MS adquire quite a few studios. All thouse studios where working on games before MS bought them and to this day we still have nothing from thouse. But we have studios like insominiac who are releasing games on a 2 year basis. 1 if you count miles morales as a full game. So i still canot see the eximent from a pure number of studios point of view. Since again after all this time they still have nothing to show. The gen might be over before these studios start hitting their full output.
