It seems to me like Microsoft wants to emulate the Valve model, consolidating and cultivating their output around a few key franchises and supporting them long term (think DOTA2, CS:GO, etc.). It's not a bad strategy when you think about it when you consider how successful Valve's games are, and especially since that's what the market seems to be moving towards. I don't quite get the single player obsession as Microsoft's bread and butter has always been their multiplayer focus compared to their competitors.
