Microsoft seems like the most likely candidate. But even the trillion dollar company can't buy that many big studio's within months. Also I see them going for EA next for Fifa to gain a lot of ground in Europe. Kind a like what Nintendo did with monster hunter all be this a bit more fitting for a company this size to simply buy EA.

IIRC a bunch, if not all, of their licensing agreements require them to be multiplatform. FIFA loses pretty much all of its value without the licences. Plus, let's not forget that Sony once had a 1st party exclusive football game (This is Football), which was actually pretty good too, it didn't have any official licences (at least any major ones that I can remember) and it doesn't exist anymore so... exclusive football games don't really work out.

The most funny part is, that even the name FIFA is part of the licence. So without the licence they basically have nothing left.

Also I want to point out: EAs other big games are also licence based, Star Wars is licenced by Disney.
