Actually no. I had a narrative based on what was given. The showcase provided new information. So while the PR states 1-2 years the reality is that most of those games announced fall outside the window. Next gen exclusives always were the greatest thing, I made my opinion very clear that the first year you can’t expect the same level of pushing hardware that later years can do. So I didn’t flip on anything actually. 

2021 we’ll see, but 2022 is when we should start getting the influx of the main studios efforts. 

So are you saying then that there wont be big exclusive games aside from halo until that time window expires? 

A Forza game is very likely during that window. Probably Forza Horizon 5, as Forza Motorsport is apparently in early development.

As we saw with Forza Horizon 2-- really the only great exclusive to launch during year one this gen --Playground Games (and another studio if necessary) will have no problem releasing this title cross-gen and optimising performance for next-gen.

Halo MCC, which at it's core is an amazing package, obviously launched as a mess. Otherwise that would've been the other killer year one app of this gen.

Funny enough, Xbox could look very much the same this upcoming gen. Except it'll be a whole new and innovative Halo (that'll hopefully not launch as a mess), and Forza Horizon titles have only gotten more exceptional with each release.

2 potential must-have exclusives for year one next-gen and current Xbox owners, along with all the other smaller titles they're throwing in. That'd be pretty impressive in my book.
