Ranking Xbox Game Studios (TOP 5)
There is no understating the importance of first party studios when discussing the best console around. During the PS4 and Xbox One generation, the argument was always that Sony had better first party titles and there was truly no counter for it. Sony just had a massive list of first party exclusives and was one of the main reasons that the PS4 went on to become one the best selling game consoles of all time with currently around 120 million.
Microsoft took their lumps and reevaluated where they stood and aimed their focus in other directions including many acquisitions, most notably ZeniMax Media, which included Bethesda and all of its subsidiaries. It also forced Microsoft to reconsider what the best method of attack was. Just like Nintendo pivoted away from competing on graphics after the GameCube couldn’t compete with the Xbox and PS2, Microsoft decided it would be best to diversify it’s strategy. Over the course of the generation Microsoft built the foundation for services that are paying dividends today including Game Pass and Project xCloud.
Already during this generation, the answer isn’t a simple as it was last generation which came down to who has better first party titles. According to the NPD Report for June 2021, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles led the month in dollar sales. This was the first time in a long time that the leader is sales hasn’t been the PS4 or the dominant Switch. Now that these services are established, it is time to see if all of Microsoft’s acquisition over the past five years is going to show a strong return on investment.
For the second instalment of studio ratings we are only going to be focusing on Microsoft First Party Studios or as they are better known today, Xbox Game Studios.
