With the latest acquisition of Activision, the overall offerings provided by the Microsoft platform are looking even more attractive.
In addition, their Azure platform is going to expand their footprint in the cloud gaming market as well. They are already a force to be reckoned with in the Enterprise computing space.
I have read news articles in the past about some sort of effort to bring FFXIV to Xbox, and I'm hoping that some folks at SquareSoft are looking at the current landscape and considering expanding the market for this wonderful game to people on the Xbox.
I invested in my first console (obviously Xbox X) today. I've always owned Sony consoles and my last one was PS3 till I switched to computer gaming. With WFH due to pandemic, I've decided to invest in a console so I'm not glued to my computer.

Long story short, I hope there's an effort, it can only be good for the game.
