It'll be balanced. Game Pass is crucial to their plans and you need those "smaller" IPs or it'll fail.

Of course they will own an insane amount of known IPs so it's inevitable some of them won't get as much attention if any.

Xbox has tumeni gaemz!

From a financial logic perspective, I wonder how the Xbox division will be able to not simply and blindly throw money for multiple multi-million dollar projects all the same for so many of these studios they've just acquired, cuz admitedly, what they're doing will end up being enormously costly in the long run and that's without the marketing budget going along with it. Can the smaller selling IP's and smaller studios really thrive in a system that might hope to bang mostly out it's golden eggs to make back on their investments to maintain sustanibility ?

Especially, now with the Gamepass which is (in the foreseeable future) the main revenue stream of the Xbox division rendering it dependant on the will of it's subscriber base.

Just remember Microsoft is more than just Xbox.
They are fighting on the mobile front against the likes of Tencent, fighting the PC front against Steam, fighting the console front against Sony.

They are in 3 markets and want to push gamepass out to everything... And in order to appeal to $3 billion people, you need those small IP's.
