Nothing to disagree here. Except that probably only few people willing to sacrifice buying two consoles only to play Bathesda games. In fact probably they just buy on PC if they have proper spec or just running it on cloud if they have proper internet speed. Bethesda going to Microsoft is not a major loose for Sony but is a win for Microsoft if they releasing their games on other platform as well. 

Microsoft can still make a lot of money even without Xbox console, in fact Microsoft has spread their love to other platform within their ecosystem. Their marketing is not focusing only to sell Xbox consoles , and they cannot , because if they want to succeed with gamepass,  than console is irrelevant for their future long terms profit and growth.

MS wants gamers to join into their ecosystem. Releasing games on PS5 is counter productive of what their ultimate goal is. 

Yet they have stated that when it comes to exclusive games for the zenimax purchase it will be a case by case basis. They also still release minecraft on PS4 which is a massive seller with kids. Removing that from Sony could have made some people switch over this new gen.
