This question is being preemptively asked considering there is a showcase early next month where we'll know more about the upcoming schedule and what to expect from the games.
- Are you concerned about another barebones year with Starfield and Redfall getting delayed? 2020 was fairly empty too. : Not really, given there are tons of third party games, and there are many GamePass games I've yet to play. Plus there are several first-party titles that may come this year, like Hellblade.
- Are you ok with the lack of next gen only games on xbox so far this gen? : The difference between last gen and this gen is minor compared to prior generations, and in previous gens it took a few years for devs to get the hang of the new hardware enough to put out something truly indicative of "next gen". Good games are good games, regardless of if they're making use of "new" (actually old) tech.
- They say it's darkest before the dawn. Are you confident MS will have a killer E3 conference with Perfect Dark, Forza, Hellblade, Fable, Starfield, Avowed and State of Decay 2 all making an appearance? That they are about to turn the corner? : There is a good chance that they can right the ship, in the way that most people think that they need to. Delays are just a natural part of things and have been happening to every publisher, people just can't help making a fanboy war out of things when it happens to games by platform holders.
- Everyone from Nintendo, Sony to From Software are delaying games. Should MS with their infinite war chest be held to a different standard? : Throwing money at a problem doesn't work very well when it comes to creative endeavors.
