Really nice interview that is worth watching. As for 1st party AAA games he discusses this at 10:25 in the video.
Sounds nice but what I'm gathering from this is that we're going to have to wait until almost next gen for console defining exclusive from Microsoft. New ips take a while to makez
There was almost no substance there, to be honest. "We do hear you, we are investing, it's coming eventually, you just have to trust us," is basically what he's saying. I mean, I get what he means about not hyping a game that's two years away but it's not like trust is something given unconditionally. He was the head of first party development, after all, and he bears a good deal of responsibility for where Xbox is now.
I think there is a good case for saying that he has yet to earn that trust.

Are you saying MS has no new exclusive IP's this gen?. |
Yes they do, but nothing that is going to generate buzz. I mean even Phil couldn't completely answer the question because it's going to take time to make new ips that are genre defining. I mean he admitted to investing in an game like uncharted but the venture failed so they paid for timed exclusivity of rise of the tomb raider. Microsoft hasn't had one console defining ip all gen. It seems the only two platforms to gain two strong new ips are Nintendo and Sony with horizon and arms. Splatoon, gears, uncharted, last of us were the big gen defining ips last gen. Back then gears wasn't first pArty either so that says nothing for Microsofts capacity to create games on that level from scratch.
1st party games are going to be announced in the future ... Nooooooooo ... freakin ... way!
Probably after they release XBOneX, but he promised!!

My thoughts exactly.

It's 2017. They do take a while to make. Bloodborne took about 3 years, Destiny took 4 years, Watch Dogs took 4-5 years, and Horizon took a bit longer than that. If they open up a studio today, we likely won't see their new game until 2021 at the earliest. Patience is a virtue. If you want quality, you won't get it overnight.

Your basing that off your own taste. Genre defining well lets see. Sea of Thieves could be one of those. So can Crackdown 3. In the past they had Ori and the Blind Forest back in 2015 and lets not forget Titanfall 1 as a Console Exclusive.
And you know what Xbox is doing better than Sony this year? Variety. Your not getting the same old genres coming out like your typical RPGs and cinematic games. This year there offering a Pirate themed MMO, an all destructive Openworld game, an RTS title, an old fashion Mickey Mouse 1940s platformer and one of the best Metroid/Vania games ever made.
Sounds more like none of those games interest you rather than MS not making genre defining games. I can say the exact same thing with the Sony event. Nothing i having seen or experienced before.

I feel the same way.
I thought Ashen looked better than anything I saw at Playstations conference.
I do not care if its genre defining.
Most people just want to play games. 
So what's he saying? A summary would be nice, OP.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
