On the subject of Fable and Horizon 5 releasing the same year, I think it's entirely possible. It all depends on when they're ready. We have to remember that Fable has been in pre-production since early 2017, and active development since 2018, would be kind of strange for them to release it in 2023, giving it 5 years of active development, while Horizon 5 will also have been in development since 2018, assuming they started on it immediately after finishing Horizon 4 (like they started on 4, 3, and 2 immediately after finishing 3, 2, and 1). So there is absolutely a possibility of both Fable and Forza Horizon 5 in 2022 imo, assuming that Horizon 5 isn't 2021 and Fable isn't 2023. The only thing that would make Horizon 5 a 2022 release instead of 2021 is if they decided to wait on Turn 10's new build of ForzaTech instead of a making a cross-gen Horizon 5. The only thing that might make Fable 2023 imo, is if Obsidian's Avowed or Bethesda's Starfield is 2022, I'd say that MS is less likely to allow 2 RPG's in the same year, than to allow Horizon and Fable in the same year.

So the chances of both Horizon 5 and Fable in 2022 aren't great imo, but it is possible. I personally think the most likely scenario is Horizon 5 in 2021 and Fable in 2022 or 2023 though. 

Here is how quick you can get into a game on Series X from sleep mode with quick resume turned on:

If you don't use sleep mode for whatever reason, testing shows about 18 seconds to cold boot Xbox Series X, which adds a fair amount of time to the process, but it's still way faster than cold booting Xbox One. 

Wow people are still very salty about the Bethesda thing. I am not even brave enough to post anything in those thread as it will just become a shit show anyway.

But at first it was: "their games suck, we don't care"...
And now that they finally realize that games will be exclusives they are either bitching Spencer for being "such a bad person" or talk nonsense about the 7.5b$ they need to recoup to grasp on some very unlikely hopes that games will not be exclusives.

How is nobody realizing that they do not need to? They are all talking like Microsoft would lose so much money by making it exclusives when it is not at all the case.

Microsoft does not need to recoup 7.5b$. While you can argue about the value of the assets they got (IPs, Games, Studios, potential revenues in the future, etc...) and probably agree that this is not 7.5b$ worth, it is probably worth 4 or 5b$. They had to pay an extra on top of it to secure it and this is what they would basically need to "recoup"... And like any deal, this is about potential revenues and growth at the end which is guaranteed 100% with those games/studios...
