businesses can think short term or long term, and yes short term microtransactions do look appealing, but in the long term they know better. they are shooting themselves in the foot. I can be upset with them for that. Its a money grab. It may show good results in the beginging but it will falter and eventually cost them sales. I doubt all games will go micro transactions, so in the end consumers will speak as they choose not to buy these games.
Edit: I think Dead Space 3 is currently not selling as well as the first 2. I could be wrong, I couldn't find a chart with sales on this site and dont feel like looking for ever. maybe some else can do it.
