Over all microsoft was very good about getting
Games that have or will actually release before july of this year. The indies and smaller games seem to have no trouble hitting their targets but its the big games that are seeing delays for most part. Making games is hard, and release windows are a moving target.

All the More confusing why they committed forza and starfield for the first half of this year when they could have just said 2023, which would have had the same effect, and not put the added stress on the dev teams and the community. It also would have saved them embarrassing delay announcements on twitter.
