I can see them doing non exclusive for select titles. They are doing that with Minecraft
But this was their way of addressing "no good exclusives on xbox". Instead of starting a bunch of studios and hoping they make hits, they just bought one that had a bunch of hits already.

This is already going to boost their game pass subscriptions by a shit load. The fact remains Sony will still most likely outsell Xbox this generation and that's a lot of revenue to abandon on games like Fallout and Elder Scrolls that are proven to sell well.
XBoxs own Phil Spencer,
“I find it completely counter to what gaming is about to say that part of that is to lock people away from being able to experience [exclusive] games”, he told GamesIndustry earlier this year. “Or to force someone to buy my specific device on the day that I want them to go buy it, in order to partake in what gaming is about. Gaming is bigger than any one device.”
Now he could be totally full of shit because they never had games lots of people wanted until now, but it gives a bit of insight in his thought process.
