Without specific examples of how this has hurt the consumer, this just sounds like corporate whining that panders to fanboy wars more than the truth.

In others words, Mission Accomplished.

Hasn't there been a barrage of stories over the last few months of indies complaining about MS's practices and on top of Gabe's comments to validate the "problem moving up to B and A tier" devs comment, there's at least some people who would agree.

Well of course there will ALWAYS be someone unhappy with any and every situation.  And they are usually very opinionated and vocal.  But there are obviously many that have benefited from the way that MS has handled XBL and XBLA games.  If not, it's doubtful they would have as much content and be as successful.  But you can't win them all (and you know with Gabe he has Valve's best interest in mind with all of his talk, as he should since it's his company; discussion for another thread ...).
