I'm not really sure how many games Microsoft can launch day one with the Scarlett as Halo Infinite will massively overshadow anything that releases, I don't think Phil has just been going to Japan to get ports of games that arbitrarely skipped Xbox along with wanting to get a first party precence in Japan and in the meantime they have been staffing up quite a lot for positions that seem like a Xbox Global Publishing Asia branch, Japan is also day one launch for Scarlett and xCloud making a big push into Japan he needs to get content on there that will make Xbox relevant which is why I think they will have a second party deal in place for a few games similar to Lost Odyssey/Blue Dragon from the 360.

Along with Halo at launch the Gamepass model will favour a constant flow of games and I could see a launch window like:

December: Flight Simulator

January: Ninja Theory new IP

February: Killer Instinct 2

March: Compulsion new IP

April: inXile/Obsidian new IP

I don't think we will see Everwild until late 2021 and Fable 4 along with The Initiative's new IP until 2022.

I only did first/second party games in my list I think there will be a lot more overall at launch and the most third party games we have seen as launch titles next gen actually due to the ease of development. I do also think there is a point of where you  have to much first party content at launch for such a small and relative hardcore audience who will adopt early either way and showing off a solid and constant stream of games through 2021 and some of the biggest stuff in 2022 is key for mindshare so people can gravitate to certain games and think that's when I'm going to dive in.

GPU will certainly not be Navi based as in what is found on the PC, that GPU is more like a hybrid GCN/RDNA architecture as it still features GCN instructions... Plus Scarlett will be capable of Ray Tracing which Navi cannot do with dedicated hardware.

Microsoft has already confirmed that the CPU will be Ryzen 3rd gen (Zen 2), not the old and outdated Ryzen 2nd gen (Zen+), highly doubt AMD is going to port Zen+ to 7nm anyway, unless you have confused Zen 2 with Ryzen 2?

20GB of GDR6 would necessitate a 320-bit memory bus, Microsoft might not take that approach if it wants a console that will scale downwards in price after a few years.

Day: Friday November 20th 2020.
Price: $499 but a $550 or $600 limited edition console too.
1st/2nd Party Lineup: Halo Infinite, Gears Tactics, A Rare IP, NT single player game (Hellblade came out in 2017 so a new game should be ready), AAA xbox published game.
3rd Party Lineup: Sports games, Call of Duty Black Ops 5, Watch Dogs Legio, Rainbow 6 Quarantine, Anthem relaunch, New EA IP, and some THQ Nordic games.
I also expect a lot of upgraade patches for current gen games.
