I would rather them not force out a demo that takes away from the development of an already delayed game. They will show off the single player in next few months when they're ready. We saw gameplay yesterday for the multiplayer so if you're curious about how the single player will look and feel, there you go. 

So because Halo has had some development issues, every Xbox studio is mismanaged? Flight Sim, Psychonauts 2, Age of Empires 4, FH5 are all quality games and releasing this year, and I'm sure Halo Infinite will great. 

This is supposed to be a big gaming event, and definitely one where you would want to show how much the game has improved after the big backlash they got last time. Instead we got an in-engine cutscene. You may also want to rewatch that multiplayer "gameplay" vid. It too said it was all in-engine. Not even in-game, and definitely not actual gameplay. So yea, I'm definitely going to call mismanagement when this is supposed to be their biggest franchise, it's already been delayed by 7 months, and we still have yet to see actual new gameplay running on an Xbox. And yet, it's supposed to launch in 4-5 months?

And your list doesn't even make sense. Flight Sim was developed by a 3rd party, not an Xbox studio. Same goes for AoE4. Wonder why. Psychonauts 2 was well into development before MS bought the studio, hence the PS4 version. I also said Forza was the only one that seemed to be on top of their stuff.

You think them showing the players vs players was cutscenes? Give me a break. How about watch the multiplayer overview that released today. It looks exactly the same and has gameplay. Halo Infinite | Multiplayer Overview - YouTube

You said, MS poorly manages their franchises besides Forza. Is Age of Empires and Flight Sim not their franchises? MS still has to work with these 3rd party developers just like if they were 1st party because it is their IP's afterall. Psychonauts 2 was delayed so they could add more content to the game and keep polishing it, now we are going to be getting a better game because of it. I would say that was a good call my MS management.
