Yooka Laylee proves the bolded wrong.
In its first year, it sold 1 million copies across all platforms.
Edit: Yooka Laylee is basically a clone of Banjo Kazooie. A lot of same developers who made Banjo Kazooie and Tooie were part of the development.
MS is going to need to lower their expectations , they wont and because of that, they wont make a new entry. Remastering/porting a game is easier than creating a new one from scratch.
If they dont want to work on it themselves internally, they could always sign off with a third party dev kinda like how SEGA did with Streets of Rage 4 with DotEmu and/or Bayonetta with Nintendo.
