How the fuck do they still have 40 projects in active development.

Them saying this doesn't mean shit when they'll cancel a bunch every time Satya wants to drive the stock up some more, another 5 cancelled next year, then the year after, oh Satya wants to fund AI some more, another 5 cancellations!

40 really isn't that many between 1st and 2nd party, I can count like 30+ teams we know about just within their 1st party studios. Add on the fact that each of the 3 CoD teams likely has their next, next CoD in pre-production even before the next releases in order to keep up yearly releases, and you're looking at 6 CoD games in development at any one time. Then add on 2nd party publishing deals from Xbox Global Publishing. 

But yeah, just looking at how many of their in-development games from 4 or so years ago ended up cancelled, probably only 30 of these 40+ games will see the light of day, maybe not even that many.
