Granted, no one likes to give them credit on the met deadlines, like the XB1X release, WMR release, Steam support for WMR, and the aforementioned fact they have yet to need a big delay on a full W10 release update. I cna't help but expect Sets to get delayed until they're actually out publicly because of this.

The rest of the company should do a better job of looking at timelines. That has left their exclusive lineup looking bare, but it could be for the best long-term. The Xbox team appears to have gotten the hint and backed off early announcements on things. There is a real problem of expectations at Microsoft, where they seems to refuse conservative estimates on things. Major releases to W10 are as famous for consistency of delaying features to future releases as they are for releasing on-time (still waiting on that thrice-delayed W10 update with a focus on mobile features). We've seen mobile promises that were met with almost no action to prove the commitment (and now look at it). We've seen Sea of Thieves and Crackdown repeatedly delayed. Didn't we just get an Ask Dan video about this, and he said a week or two back that his sources confirmed an intent to make it happen in 2017, even though they only had a few weeks left in the year? We saw MS cancel Scalebound shortly before it was to launch. I think it's more about this 'overpromise, underdeliver' nature of his tenure.
