Xbox Series is fast approaching 30m sales, and will probably be at least 45m by the end of the gen, I personally think that is too big of an install base to avoid unless your game is super niche. Sony would have to pay an awful lot for those exclusivity deals to offset the number of Xbox sales, not to mention PC sales are hurt quite alot by a game not being on PC day one, as we saw with FF7R's late port to Steam. There is no doubt in my mind that FF7R would have sold quite alot better if it had been on PS4, XB1, and PC day one, with late ports to both PS5 and Xbox Series, I really can't imagine that what Sony paid them was worth what they lost, there is a reason why the new President of Square seems to be all for day one multiplatform and against exclusivity deals, he clearly wouldn't be against them if the deals they already signed with Nintendo and Sony had worked out well for them overall.
