These games are so different than what MS has made in over a decade that they basically count as fresh new IPs.
Their own Western and Japanese RPG, horror game, 3d platformers, wowzers such old crap!
What do you suggest then? They make another 3rd person shooter, another 1st person shooter?

there is a reason those game didnt get a sequel they just didnt sell well. For 10 years people were shouting about Last guardian, look how many people bought it. and there are tons of games on PS3 which I found good but didnt appeal to mass audience, does that mean it should come back No, I dont want developers to shutdown, just because vocal minority wants it.. Best example is Untill Dawn, Horizon Zero Dawn make a new frachise which appeals to the mass audience, Invest in New IP which has the potential to be the next big franchise, Like Sunset Overdrive they just gave up on it coz it didnt sell well enough to warrant a sequel.
The Problem is XBox gamers have been conditioned shooters since 360 gen, and when a really good game came along they just didnt buy it, and now if remaking/sequel to a game which didnt sell well in the first entry leads to negative PR on the new game, thats why we will never see another Folklore, star hawk, socom, and dare I say Lair, But time to time sony does take those chances like knack, gravity rush, the last guardian, coz they have confidence in their install base that they can focus on delivering diverse line up. so buying a playstation system a gamer can expect diverse first party line up and not just shooter because those seeds were sowed in PS3 era.
MS needs to do the same pump out different unique IP so people start looking at xbox as more than just a shooter machine. But all these things really doesnt matter now as all the games are on PC why will someone look into buying an xbox or a scorpio when they can be played in better fidelity on PC
