This could work: buy Capcom and make the next Monster Hunter games for XBOne, Windows Mobile and PSV, but neither for Switch, nor for PS4, nor for Android, and port to Windows PC one year later to avoid damaging XBOne sales. Same thing for all the other Capcom games. This should attack Switch from every side, every possible competition direction, but without making other MS competitors stronger where they could be or already are dangerous for XBOne or Windows.
Same thing, if possible, with another publisher of games that usually sell very well on Ninty or Sony platforms.

They already  tried that last genn,it failed.

Not with Monster Hunter, while Ninty, thanks partly to grabbing its exclusive (although early price drop was the main weapon for victory), and despite 3DS horrible drop after launch window, managed to make its portable slaughter PSV.
While GTA Liberty City was the best selling single game on PSP, MH was the best selling franchise, and it became the best selling 3rd party franchise on 3DS, so that PSV both suffered from not having it, and this was the biggest blow, plus it being on its rival.
Obviously this alone wouldn't grant XBOne a victory, but it's probably the biggest thing MS could do on the SW front besides pushing more what it already has, either 1st or 3rd party.
