This is a typical, vague PR statement that can mean anything and nothing at all.

Microsoft has decided that all their exclusives will also come to PC anyway. So Windows, Xbox consoles and Xcloud (streaming service) are a given.

This doesn't promise in any way that games will come to PlayStation.

And even if it weren't a bullshit vague PR statement, once the company is sold the original owners have no say over its management.

It specifically says "should bring" and not "will bring". This is a philosophical statement and neither a promise nor even a plan.
