June seems to be the typical date people are going with online unless MS are going to surprise everyone and release it before Redfall.
 
Will the game be a flop due to the MS exclusive curse.
If games are exclusive on PS-> probably Critical hits
If games are exclusive on Xbox->flop/average

Maybe Starfield will break the tradition.....


& be above average

Serious?

Because Halo, Gears, Forza, Lost Odyssey, Sunset Overdrive, Fable, Rallisport Challenge, PGR, Ori games, etc, all say otherwise.

360 era had good games for sure. Halo & gears are shadow of their past popularity. Some decent indie games for sure. Compare to critically acclaimed AAA games every year & 1-2 GOTY nominees every year since last gen for PS.
 
They still hold the highest MC for any publisher in a year for 2021.

Still doesn't add up.
 
Thought MS would have learned by now that rushing titles isn't good at all. Look at Halo Infinite.
Well they delayed it once for what would be 7 months if it hits in June. That was after it was given a solid release date not long before.

Same for Redfall. They delayed it for nearly a year.

So they obviously did learn from Halo, which they tried launching a year prior to its actual release, but even now, that game is far from finished.

I am guessing that these delays might not be enough still but they want to make the deadline due to expectations and already being 1 year behind.

Ms probably hasn’t learned by now, said studios are probably keeping it in the dark, Bethesda would know first and be like “sure, we’re fine, we’re fine….” when sataya be asking “yo fam, you good?”

This is all per some guy on Resetera. Here is his full post:

So this turned out to be true. I was told more that I said I would share.

So MS lost tons and tons of money on Azure this fiscal year. They're asking all divisions to blunt the loss. One thing MS has floated for Xbox is releasing Starfield before fiscal year aka June 2023. Redfall is coming first and is in rough shape still, and probably should use more quality control, but it's still in better shape than Starfield. Bethesda wants more time with Starfield and if they get their way Starfield will come in the fall 2023. If MS gets their way it comes out in this fiscal year. If Starfield comes in June expect it to be in rough shape.

Also Diablo is in rough shape. The 6/6 release date is questionable.


I find it more questionable since he somehow has doom and gloom for Diablo. Exactly who would have insider information to Arkane, Bethesda and Blizzard, which are all very siloed studios and one of which isn't owned by MS?

Edit: Also, I don't see anything where MS "lost tons and tons of money" on Azure last fiscal year. There was an estimate they lost $3 billion (by Google, LOL), but that was refuted in many other articles, all of which noted Azure was operating at a profit.

Would be 0.01% credible if said statement came before MS published their year to date numbers.
