This... is actually kind of exciting. Two massive studios (potentially) showing they also feel that the current AAA space is saturated with boring, soulless, samey games, year after year.

That's a naive take. Microsoft saw that there is money to make in AA games, so they want in on the action.

If they didn't think that AA games could increase their profits, they wouldn't do it.

That's a ~~naive~~ optimistic take.
