The launch lineup of the Xbox One was a big factor.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
I switched too. Sorry Sony, i won't pay 400$ for Knack and F2P/casual games.
Total face palm at this persons opinion. But hey, thanks to Sony for forcing MS to drop all those restriction polices too right? For dropping the camera also right? How's that Blu-ray player now? Some 7 years later and who came out with that? As far as game at launch, that's all opinion. But what's not opinion is how Ubisoft is giving the PS3 and PS4 exclusive game play for Watch Dogs and AC4 BF and those are 3rd party games at launch. Aside from the exclusive line up. How about Bungie ( MS's Halo ) giving the PS4 exclusive content for Destiny already?
"Nobody can deny that the launch lineup of the Xbox One is better than the PS4"
Once again, completely subjective opinion passed off as fact, the mark of a fanboy.
MS management sees a need for more XBone PR and spin doctors. This is video of their next graduating group of intern spin doctors:

Did you guys see all the games announced at gamescom. Are you turning a blind eye to awesome experiences just cause they are not huge AAA games? Sounds stupid to me.
