Yes, Microsoft could benefit but Microsoft also couldn't. We have to be honest: There are often reasons why developers or firms have financial problems. For example: Crytek often changed the idea behind Ryse. It started as a Kinect game and ended as a great looking but not so good game. Capcom also has a lot of success with Monster Hunter or other IPs but games like the last Resident Evil games had to deal with a lot of haters.
I'm not sure if Microsoft really wants to invest more money. Remember the rumours that they wanted to leave the whole industry. Yeah, just rumours but maybe they don't want pay more and more money.
I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?
I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.
