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.

When Elder Scrolls sells 200 million then maybe it’s a relatable example haha. Minecraft is too big to limit, as much as I’d like to see MS be more aggressive with it. 

Case by case can easily mean Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online. Both have a dedicated community and getting next gen versions wouldn’t be out of the question. Case in point it would be a dick move to no longer include PS.

But MS seemingly has a simple rule: if a game has been announced as multiplat, MS will honour it. If not, then it’s theirs. Elder Scrolls and Starfield had a reveal trailer, but no platforms were announced. Also why games like Hellblade 2 are only going to Xbox.
