Probably from third parties and Microsoft downloadable first party content. As far as retail I can see Microsoft going straight to 720 instead.
But there there are going to be quite a few games that will probably be cross platform?
Rainbow six the patriots
Project Destiny
brothers in arms furious 4
Watchdogs
Star Wars 1313
Also a few screens from the leaked document from a while back
343 industries is also hiring for someone to work on MMO elements
http://www.gamespot.com/news/halo-team-seeking-devs-with-mmo-experience-6400414Microsoft has put out a call for staffers with massively multiplayer online game development experience to join 343 Industries to work on future Halo projects. Two job listings at 343 Industries were posted yesterday, both for software development engineers who will work on "building the next generation of backend services to power Halo 4 and our new game saga."
These job listings follow additional requisitions posted last week that indicated 343 Industries was staffing up for mystery "incubation projects." A Microsoft representative was not immediately available for comment.
If Microsoft is building a Halo MMO, it will not be the first time the company has done so. The Microsoft-owned (and now defunct) Ensemble Studios spent three years on a Halo MMORPG codenamed Titan that reportedly held a $90 million budget before it was canceled in 2007.
Also I was poking around the Microsoft Career's site around the xbox section I found a few things.
Rare is now developing Windows Phone/Windows 8 games as well s consoles games. There are a few job postings for 2D UI artist and 3D artist for Windows 8 and windows phone 8 development. Also they are hiring for a gameplay lead, gameplay engineer, audio engineer, and a few producer and manger postions for a console game among other things.
The Kinect Sports team just launched Kinect sports gems today which are very small downloadable xbla Kinect games. There's a good chance that this smaller team is being transferred to work on Kinect and Windows 8/phone content (as well as avatars). While the rest of team are transferred to the next gen products that were shown hinted at a while back.

(some new IP and maybe a comeback to Jet force)
Good Science studios seems to be turned into a backend studio for the rest of Microsoft's services. They did Kinect Adventures so I assumed they would be deving on Kinect but with BigPark co-developing Kinect stuff with rare (they did a lot of heavy lifting on Kinect sports 2 as well as the Joyride kart games)
Microsoft also has a new studio on the bracket called Microsoft core publishing which seems to based in Redmond and sole purpose is too work with external developers on core titles. Goes in line with a linkedn post saying Microsoft had put a nice sum of money for getting third party exclusives for the next generation. (amond which are stuff like Alan Wake, Ryse, and gears of War)
Soho productions behind the interactive TV games looks to be starting work on their next project (aside from supporting content for current TV games) as they are staffing up on artist, research leads, and Television Producers (lol).
Microsoft Studios Vancouver seems t be getting pretty serious in development of their project which is rumored to be a sci-fi horror game that's supposed to be the launch title of the 720. The studios is headed by a former crytek guy and they are currently hiring for online engineers, as well a lot of cinematic, physics, Rendering guys, as well as some artist. game must be far along .
Lionhead is looking for some basic positions of art director, programmers and tech directors. the positions are too be a key contributor of an unannounced title. Its probably going to be the MMO like title that was rumored a while back. iirc lionhead had some layoffs after Fable: the journey hit the market, with them probably working on this title for a while and these job postings I wouldn't be surprised if the layoffs were to get rid of guys who had that Molyneux mindset. Get more new guys in control of the studios instead of people who over hype ****

343 also seems to be hiring for some environment and multiplayer guys. Probably for the next season of Spartan ops.
Turn 10 really isn't hiring expect two that went up today one of which wanting help in developing the next version of forza. Makes sense as they wouldn't be hiring as this doesn't seem to be the type of studio to do massive hiring especially when Playground games developers of Forza Horizon are probably going to be working on the title as well. (really surprised Microsoft hasn't brought playground games to COD its racing games)
Three of the studios MS Victoria, Bigpark, and Skybox sports aren't hiring. Skybox I think makes all of the sports apps on xbox and doesn't do any game development. Victoria was just founded this year and its been said that the game will be in development for a few years and the staff is expected to hit 150 around this time. Studio seems to have former EA and nextgen games staff among other things. Bigpark shares the same building as Vancouver but while not hiring are working on another title.
alittle surpising is that Prees Play and Twisted Pixel while being Microsoft studios aren't on the page to view content.
