Remember that these were estimates from more than three years ago and before Microsoft completed its acquisition of ZeniMax in March 2021, so there’s always the chance that some of these plans have changed dramatically or been scrapped entirely. But they may provide an early look at some of the games we can look forward to from Microsoft down the road.

Skyrim rerelease doesn't really change anything, I don't even think it cost Bethesda much to rerelease it. Your other listed games are remakes made from ground up. It's like comparing Indie games and AAA games in term of development

There's a good mixture. Some of the games I listed were literally just ports to he new hardware. Some were complete remakes. I'd say most of Skyrim lies somewhere in-between. It's the base game, plus the 3 DLC's, plus however many officially-sanctioned mods or platform-specific changes like for VR, Alexa (lol), or Switch. The re-release and different edition names are trying to set up boundaries and market the amorphous blob that most mod-heavy PC games are to console users.
