If Netflix has an exclusive, they miss out on all the HBO subscribers

If Sony has an exclusive, they miss out on the XBOX and PC owners

I'm not sure what you're arguing here... Exclusives make the platform more desirable.

And remember, Microsoft's platform is Game Pass now, not necessarily the XBOX itself. It includes PC and cloud gaming as well. The goal isn't for the XBOX to outsell PS5, it's to get millions of people to play their games on whatever platform they want. They want PS5 owners to also get Game Pass. So they will likely have some games on Sony's platform, but not huge titles like Doom, etc.
