How would it decease Xbox Live Subs?

MS arent just going to release there games for nothing on other consoles. They would want you to pay for them, They want you in the eco system just like there 1st party line up on PC. If you are a PS4 owner and want to play Xbox games than you would most likely have to pay another sub fee for Live to grant access to these games. There will be gamers out there that will pay up. This can also affect PSN numbers where gamers might choose to ignore PSN to gain Live. 

Ps4 doesn't allow for 2 subs being needed for one experience.

You don't have to pay for PSN+ for MMOs and Freemium games, and other companies can't charge an extra sub for their games because PSN+ is already being charged.

So if MS put their games on PS, they wouldn't be able to request XBL sign from gamers or they would need to convince Sony to remove their need of PSN+ for those games... and considering Sony have no need for MS games on its platform I don't see that happening.

Thats exactly the point. MS will do it if they convince Sony to allow Xbox Live.

Do you really think MS will drop all there games on rival platforms for nothing? If so thats wishful thinking. Heck they dont even do that on PC unless its a 2nd party or Indy game that sell well. Majority require Windows and a Live account to play Forza, Gears etc.

Its smart and sneaky buisness model. Leak Live into competitors eco system and rake in the awards.
