Agreed.

The major reason to have games developed by first party is that all the money generated by that game goes towards the owner of the studio that produced it, and we all know that microsoft isn't in the console market to get money.

not to mention Titan Fall 2 has already been announce multiplat.

I disagree, it does matter (at least in part, I agree owning an IP is important). Even if you own an IP, if a studio does an awesome game and become a well-known studio because of that, it's not a good thing for your company/console if this studio decides to leave your IP and go multiplatform (or exclusive for someone else) for their next game (we saw how much Destiny is helping the PS4, thanks Bungie!). You can give your IP to another third party studio, but who knows if it will be as good as the previous game. 

A first party studio will make the kind of games you want, with the planning you want, and they will always do that, so you can invest in them fully without a doubt. You just can't invest fully in a third party studio because you own the IP they're currently developing, it's helping someone who could work for your concurrent the next day. 

In business, outsourcing can be cool, useful and even  necessary, but it's better if your internal teams and processes are strong enough for your company to work without it (for example it's a lot more difficult to invest in your subcontractor and make them grow when you need). 

Yeah their first party is sublime
Experiment around ms already

I dunno, whoever is in charge of their TV and overall Xbone 🎮 experience, is what makes me keep mine on. It pissed me off, like the Covenant pisses Master Chief off, when they killed their TV studio. I was loving watching exclusively made content with interactive features. At least we know that 10/27 is around the corner and it's something to look forward to till M$ gets their shit 💩 straight. #Halo5 love it or hate it, still hype, like an MMA fight!

They still make great games and thats all that matters.

There is like, 1 or not even any studio working mainly for hololens, maybe some speical things for confence like that Halo room thing at E3, but it's not a game or even a big project.

As long as their fans are happy...I guess it's fine.

What I realised long ago was that Microsoft do not want studios, the donn't actually want 1st parties at all. They want to attract people to their console and then try to keep them there paying subs and getting royalties.

That is why the core titles for xbox are only Halo, Gears and Forza. The rest are disposable for them and would not be made if they didn't need to. Microsoft were always very cynical in terms of business ethics.
They have very little stake in game development and are not here "for the gamers", they are here for the money. Nothing more.

I dont want to offend anyone, this is simply my honest opinion on them as a past customer (gen 7).
