Since MS has not gotten much love, do you think we may see them focus certain developers on making their version of certain types of games?

I'd be shocked if there isn't talks of developing:

-Smas Bros type game.
-Mariokart type game.
-Zelda/Horizons type game.
-2d family friendly, funny, silly game like 2d Mario.
-Some AAA cozy sim game, like Animal Crossing.

They have TONS of M rated shooter or first person action adventure games. They need more family-friendly content.

Tell them what to make? Nah, that isn't how Phil operates or what he promised the studios when he acquired them, I'm also strongly against it, developers should be allowed to make what they want to make, doing otherwise causes resentment and departures, a lack of passion in a project as well.

Having said that, I'm sure they could find a developer who wants to work on these things...Toys for Bob Studio Head for example said he would like to see Banjo revived one day, that isn't him saying he wants to make it but...I don't think he'd turn it down.

Imo a Mario Kart like game would be cool with all the IPs that Xbox has now, I would simply revive Crash Team Racing and stick lots of Xbox characters in it, fairly simple and I'm sure Beenox would like to work on that. Don't really think a Smash Bros copy would do well but Idk.

I've a feeling that Everwild will be a spiritual successor to Viva Pinata in many ways.

With all the many thousands of developers MS now has, I'm 100% certain thete are at least 300 who would love to make MS own Zelda action adventure game, at least 200 or so that could make a 2d Mario-like game, etc.
