I think MS should counter this and FFXVI exclusivity by taking away Deathloop and Ghostwire exclusivity deal from PS5 and move it to a Series X exclusive. This will send a clear message to Sony and its third-party partners that if they want to keep exclusive games for ridiculously long periods away MS can retaliate by buying more developers.

These games are under contractual obligations. Very little MS can do.

Besides, their ownership of Zenmiax is not entirely complete until around April of 2021.

There are options to terminate contracts if necessary, and MS has the resources to do so. Zenimax deals, probably not until the deal has been made however all the other games that jumped to other platforms could have easily been canceled. This happens all the time in other industries. 

Proof, Epic Games canceled Metro Exodus from Steam 1 week before its release, and they dont even own the IP or studio.
