I'm guessing she puts Obsidian and maybe even an assistance studio like Eidos Montreal on Fallout 5 or a New Vegas like Fallout game right away instead of letting Bethesda wait until TES releases in probably 2028 or 2029 to even start Fallout 5, with release being like 2034 in that scenario. They need big moneymakers and they need them fast, and Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 both performed under Xbox expectations, it's just good business to put Obsidian on Fallout when their last Fallout game sold like 12m and Fallout itself has since grown significantly in popularity with 4 reportedly selling over 30 million since it released. The rumored and leaked Fallout 3 remake will be out within a year probably, which can hold people off until Obsidian can get their Fallout finished.
