Thouse are good explanations of why xbox library is still so barren. But it still dosent change that xbox library is barren. Wich just reafirmes my point. Buying a studio means nothing for the inmediate time for the xbox. Acording to your own time frames we still have nothing to look foward to for a while. So again why the hype? 6 years since this thread and maybe, just maybe there are rumors one of them launching something in one more year? I still don't understand the hype. 

The state of the Xbox library and the state of Microsoft's first party are two different conversations. There is a relation, but those two things don't necessarily have to be pointing in the same direction, between third party deals and first party developing games on PC like the Age of Empires group. It also takes time for games to get out the door.

It's likely that we will see Starfield and possibly a few other Zenimax games.  Halo will also be coming.    

But on the whole, it probably won't be until 2022 before we start to see massive changes.

I guess thats a good point. Still dosent make me look at xbox future anymore hopefully. I got to have something concrete before I get hyped for anything. And I do realize that I'm judging based on their past while they are today totally diferent than they where in 2013. But I need more than rumors and speculation and cgi to day if diferent for the better.
