There isn't too much left in the pipeline to show. Gears (coalition), FH (Playground), InExile, Initiative. This is the output for MS for the next 4 years or so.

We are 3 or so months from the launch of a new console and the only game XGS has shown gameplay of is Halo Infinite, a game in dev for 5 years and still looking like its troubled.

There is the caveat that the CGI trailers were used so that in the next showcase gameplay can be revealed, but games like Forza have been said to be in early dev.

Forza has already had 3 years in dev, yet there is still another 1-2 left.

Everwild devs don't even know what the gameplay of there game is.

If its turns out the CGI games are far away then MS is going to be absolutely destroyed in the next few years.

lol, this isn’t the output for the next four years. Compulsion is working on a new IP. Double Fine is working on a new IP plus Psychonauts which IIRC you didn’t list. inXile has a new RPG they are working on plus Wasteland 3. There’s no reason to assume all of Obsidian will be working on Avowed. Ninja Theory has three titles in the works. Initiative has at least one game in the works. 

Among others. No one expected Playground to be working on a new Horizon and something else. No one expected Obsidian to be making three games at once. No one thought Double Fine would be working on multiple projects and yet they are. And MS is expanding all of these studios. And there’s always third party partners like they already have for games like Tactics, Battletoads, Flight Sim, Tell Me Why, etc.

Forgot Compulsion but they are a small studio.

100% all of Obsidian, Ninja Theory and Initiative are working on their AAA game. These studios are not that big and can only handle 1 AAA game at a time. Ninja Theory does not have three titles. Bleeding edge was worked on pre-MS. Project Mara is probably some small indie like game made from a few devs. All hands will be on Hellblade.
