Microsoft should have built up their first party long ago, besides its still pretty poor compared to its rivals.

True. I bet if MS announced that they bought Crytek, Epic, Remedy and Grasshopper the forums would say "aww typical MS just using their money. They can't do anything on their own!!!111"

Now MS opened studios like never before and probably working on new IPs you guys come up with "Meh, probably Kinect only games!!!!111"

Check MS career page and type in "MGS" you will find 43 open positions - without Turn10, Rare or Lionhead!

I feel you man, you and Nsanity do a great job at making Xbox threads... I realise the Sony community is so vocal on the net especially on threads that have these words "Xbox" and "exclusives".

I'd say welcome these new studios, they'll bring new life to the industry and more jobs for videogame makers.

Ya guys know that when studios first start working on a new game they only need a core team of a few dozen people right?

Maybe they are all way to busy with those new amazing never seen before features like youtube on Dashboard?
