First party studios and exclusive partners got the dev kits first
to summarize the story… just wait 
. of course, at launch it would be more positive… but it is not the end of the world. this explains the bizarre things we saw with this console, lack of gameplay and things like these:
Halo Infinite will get a free ray tracing update after launch | Windows Central

Yep don’t worry. You nailed it.
I will humbly try to explain you what I understand of the situation below.
MS waited for full RDNA2 and went with software emulation for BC since a very long while ago. That is why they have the better machine and BC. Look at what we saw recently with BC Team killing it. Absolute madness!
It is also probably why imho we are not still seeing a lot of Next Gen gameplay from Xbox Series X yet but we will see next gen gameplay soon I think. Imagine Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer blowing our minds when all is ready.
If you read between the lines, it is obvious MS waited, the API’s for RDNA2 are not completely done yet so the devs are working with early ones that don’t have full features yet and are constantly being updated. That is why DMCV RT coming later. Plus we have to wait for october 28th to see AMD present officially the full RDNA2 features and to speak about the Xbox Series X.
This is why Ray Tracing for some Xbox games are coming in a patch a few months down the road. New environment, new dev tools.
The Ray Tracing part of the API is still a work in progress. It is the price to pay to have the best of the best of console tech.
That is also why I strongly believe PS5 was aimed to release in 2019 too and has not the true full RDNA2 features such as VRS etc
Cause the devs kits were available way sooner and MS were behind but for good reasons hehe.
It is a gamble but it will be worth the wait.
The question now is…Are you capable to wait and see the fruits of their efforts?
As for me…Yes I am!

yes we know this of course it will support raytracing but we want to see the performance and gameplay of WDL or any next gen game With RT
This applies to me as well but to a lesser extent. I’ll play first person games but like you, im hoping for some more third person studios and games. Still hoping for WB Interactive which is all third person as well as Asobo. Would love Capcom as well. Hehehe.

we wont see any true next gen games for a few years yet, so the wait is easy.

dont we have like 5/6 studios now that are 3rd person?
As far as I am informed, Bethesda Game Studios developed Fallout 4 with both 1st and 3rd person options. It seems they will follow this guideline in Starfield.

Double Fine, Ninja Theory, The Coalition, Undead Labs and Tango Gameworks are the studios that have done 3rd person games but there’s around 16 that are first person. A little too much first person. And there’s a few isometric games like Wasteland or Age of Empires.
Jesus, I guess some YouTubers were living under a rock? Spawn Wave Plus with a video about how “XSX is running hot.” come on now dude

Yes out of 23, I know that’s not the full story but a general point I’m trying to make
Clickbait narratives. Don’t even click this shit - that’s what they want you to do.

as far i know techland isn’t 3 person developer hmmm 
i guess Xbox shouldn’t aim for techland and go for IOI
i’m sure Bethesda has a few studios that have 3rd person options in there games and i think Fable at PG will be third person, Rare is 3rd person
Bethesda itself has since Fallout 3. Fallout 4 greatly improved it.
