I don't see why not.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we are receiving pretty similar tools to what a large studio would use.

Umm, no.... Most large studios don't do development in C#(CSharp) wink.gif
I've never programmed in C#, but I've heard that the automated garbage collector causes a sharp hit in performance. I have seen a 3D engine programmed in C#, but it was pretty crude.
However, a google check did show an engine called Axiom, which is a C# port of OGRE, which is a decent opensource engine, so who knows, maybe...

I doubt Microsoft's tools are high-level enough to make them of any practical use.
I found DirectX to be quite a disappointment.  Just a lot of low-level stuff you could
spend years on and still not make a single game.

I think of it as selling a Lamborghini without the engine.
Quite useless but that doen't mean it will be cheap.

Large companies likely use very high-level stuff ...
using software packages you and I never even heard of.

ahh the DirectX SDK provides plenty (stencil buffers, shaders, etc..) to actually make working engine/game.

You just need to learn how to use it.
