yes non existing studios are going to churn out games.
and when did MS buy those studios much later ok
a division that was going to get axed?
seen both they look fine for experimental games what do want a god of war or uncharted clone.
and replace him with who
"Microsoft Studios" has been a thing for awhile you know ...
And even if MS has zero first party ability (never true, their first party efforts started in 2000), go start talking to publishers and 3rd parties. On day one of your job. Start funding an exclusive or 3 a year from them. Find someone who has an idea for something really cool and daring. Different. Quirky even at times. Maybe go for a big blockbuster type game as well. Get a little variety going. Don't let Fable wither and die on the vine. Do something with 343i when you realize it can't make big budget games at high quality (revealed years ago). There are so many options here, I could have a list of 100 ideas in a day.
What's with all this defending of doing a bad job? Aren't fans supposed to
care about quality? This must be the only industry where people will defend garbage output. It's like if you're a fan of the Yankees and they are sucking for awhile and you go around saying how they are actually a great franchise and still doing awesome. It's like, no, they aren't. They are getting their butts kicked. Let's rebuild the team and figure out a way to win. Fans of those teams will boo and be unhappy. Not make excuses. I literally cannot wrap my mind around this mentality.
"Replace him with who" you ask? There are quite a number of people at Microsoft who could probably do a better job. There are people outside the company who could do a better job. I don't know who, but I'm not on a hiring committee. That's why you talk to people, interview and try to find the best man or woman for the job. Look for a true passion for the products, and the games, and someone with a track record of great work. It's hard but it's certainly not impossible.
The management at Xbox has obviously just been terrible and they need fresh blood that really, truly gives a damn.
