You do know their games cost 100's of millions right? Staying exclusive to MS means it will be filled with MT's to pay for it. Game pass won't pay for it by itself, good luck luck.

Ouch. Yeah, I doubt sales from PC + Series X/S will be large enough to fund the games entirely on their own. MS is not like Sony, or Nintendo. They've never had a platform that sold over 100 million units. That's the sort of sales you need to make an exclusive worthwhile. At 50-60 million XB Series just won't have enough of an install base to recover from a lack of Sony customers.

That's why, I'm pretty sure MS is going to keep Bethesda 3rd party.

They also have never had the sheer number of 1st party developers before. Anything can happen. They will be getting game sales from Xbox, Windows store, Steam, along with gamepass/ultimate sub sales. Make games like ES6 and Fallout 5 exclusive will bring millions of gamers over to Xbox ecosystem. 

Xbox isn't worried about short term sales, this is about long term. When(notice how I didn't say if) Gamepass subs are a 30+ million, funding games won't be a problem.  

Don't worry though, Fallout 76 and ESO will probably continue to be multiplat so at least ps5 users can look forward to that.
