Money doesn't fix regular mistakes, but EA going Sony exclusive is never going to happen. MS wouldn't allow it, besides I don't think EA's own licensee partners (NFL, FIFA, NHL, Star Wars/Disney) would be happy with that either. 

I think Scorpio will be great too not just because it'll have the best console hardware but precisely because MS learned some hard lessons this gen, just Sony did last gen. They will be better in the long run by learning from this gen. 

Fifa was just a random pick, there are target games that would be easier and more effective than that. Fifa would be a game they would use in Europe if they wanted more share but they don't need that and EA wouldn't play ball. Other companies...... 

I think third party exclusives in general is going to go the way of the dinosaur. It's not worth it with development costs being so high, and with PC basically merging with the XBox that pretty much ensures MS will have just about any version of any game unless a developer goes out of their way to deny it, which would be silly.

None of the big 3rd party exclusive deals this gen have really worked out for the publisher anyway. None of Tomb Raider, Titanfall, or Street Fighter V are big successes.
