I think the gameplan is squarely on beefing up the gamepass offering. I honestly don't think exclusivity was even in the thought process. Unless MS can see a way to make Sony platforms obsolete, they should simply charge a premium for the games to remain on Sony platforms, provided that Sony has a significant player base.
With regards to MS inhouse development capability and IP growth - this move reduces the pressure on Xbox's internal studios to get things right in the short term. Long term though MS is going to definitely need to learn how to build new successful IP.
