MS have said they care less about console sales and more about making money through services and games. If they are not bullshitting, I don't think they would keep anything EA make exclusive to Xbox. They might give Xbox DLC, Betas etc first, but that's about it. They will make far more money keeping everything multiplatform than making IP exclusive

You bet your ass that they would keep it console exclusive. Mojang would have to have been contractual. Rare stayed console exclusive aside from handheld games which weren't in direct competition. Sony's Playstation is direct competition. Getting FIFA off Playstation would be a massive blow.

still think they would be missing out. yes you gain some console sales, but you will lose out on not only games sales, but all the extra stuff too. A lot of money that Fifa makes comes from all the pack stuff they sell after purchase, and a bigger install base means more money in the long run
