Yeah it sucks.
but I think the idea is, that it's an easier path to exposure through XBOX Live and that there are those willing to bank on that trade off.
Me for example, I am very interested in working with the free devlopment software available for download on the XBOX360. If I do get off my ass and develop something I may seriously consider going to Microsoft to publish it, knowing it will screw me over cost wise but it will give me an easier chance to get on to the market and maybe make a name for myself. THEN I may be able to petition other companies for a chance to develop for them at a reasonable price.
