That is Microsoft's ultimate problem, aside from how they started their current console cycle. They are too afraid to do something different, closing down studios that did something different and didn't meet unhinged sales metrics. I think that their studios need to be allowed to cook and work on their specialty, in order to bring something awesome to the table.

Bringing awesome to the table is not compatible with Corporations who are legally obligated to be risk averse for the shareholders.

Yeah, awesome games often happen by accident, not on purpose in Corporate run scenarios...Especially when you don't have heavy hitters that can often produce some real bangers in your ranks. Indie will always be the primary place where game innovation and breakout hits tend to happen.
