How many other First Party, new IP have they had so far?
When they say this, what other games from them has it beat in performance?

Hmm, I think someone could come up with a list, but then again the titles that I'm thinking of I assume aren't considered first-party like Ori and Sunset Overdrive.

Awesome game and awesome sales! Looking forward to new content. Hopefully they announce something soon.

Gamers win!!!

Yeah "Ori and the Blind Forest" / "Sunset Overdrive" wouldnt count right?

Im guessing "Cobalt" (which looks like a indie game) ?

I cant even think of another "new" IP from a 1st party microsoft studio.

No, they're considered 1st party, confirmed by Greenburg. Anything published by Microsoft Studios is considered 1st party.

I wonder why they even said it as first-party then rather than just saying MS-published.

Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive? That's all I can think of.

I don’t think we should gloss over the 500k+ new XBL subscribers. March should be an impressive hardware sales number this month.

Welcome!

Just pointing out that even if it didn't include Published titles that Ori would count still as it's owned by Microsoft and they consider anything they own to be first party.

Not sure why they didn't just say Microsoft published though, but since it's Greenberg I'm expecting there's a bunch of catches (Like obviously PUBG doesn't count even though they publish it on Xbox One)

Oh yeah, I guess PUBG would make things complicated. I guess they could have said MS-IPs then, which I guess first party is but with games like Sunset Overdrive it becomes more complicated as it is a MS-owned IP but developed by a third-party.

Sunset Overdrive isn't owned by Microsoft Damn I'm getting myself confused now.

Oh, it isn't? So MS just have the publishing rights for the first game then?
