I'm not really sure how many games Microsoft can launch day one with the Scarlett as Halo Infinite will massively overshadow anything that releases, I don't think Phil has just been going to Japan to get ports of games that arbitrarely skipped Xbox along with wanting to get a first party precence in Japan and in the meantime they have been staffing up quite a lot for positions that seem like a Xbox Global Publishing Asia branch, Japan is also day one launch for Scarlett and xCloud making a big push into Japan he needs to get content on there that will make Xbox relevant which is why I think they will have a second party deal in place for a few games similar to Lost Odyssey/Blue Dragon from the 360.
Along with Halo at launch the Gamepass model will favour a constant flow of games and I could see a launch window like:
December: Flight Simulator
January: Ninja Theory new IP
February: Killer Instinct 2
March: Compulsion new IP
April: inXile/Obsidian new IP
I don't think we will see Everwild until late 2021 and Fable 4 along with The Initiative's new IP until 2022.
