I feel that one way or another, some games from these studios will be available to play on other platforms.

I agree 100% with everything you have said, the bolded caught my eye after watching the XBOX doc.
Microsoft never wanted to be a hardware company, before the XBOX came out Bill Gates was asked about making hardware and he said they didn't want to do it. So it is just MS moving back to their roots but in the gaming sector.
As of now, it looks like CoD will be remain on PS for the foreseeable future until all pre-existing contracts have expired. Then I assume Warzone will remain multi-plat, with main CoD games eventually becoming exclusive. As for Blizzard games, I fully assume those games will be PC/XBOX exclusive.
