Should have added a poll.
No.
The 360 sold 3x as good as the original X-Box in Japan, and while 1.5 million isn't much, PS3 only got 8 million. If MS grows, even just by 50% that's still 2.25 million units it wouldn't have sold otherwise.
Plus Microsoft has big pockets and will publish games Sony and Nintendo might not (or at least they won't pay as much). This is why we saw games like Lost Odyssey, Shenmue 2 (localized), and Panzer Dragoon Orta.
Plus competition from MS, however small it is, will encourage Sony to make better JRPG's.
So I see no reason why MS should leave. They might not be making much profit, but it does add a couple million sales in Japan, and maybe even a million extra sales outside of Japan from people who have to have all JRPG's.

Yeah I a poll would have been good, didn't think about it at the time. I agree 100% with competition part, without competition companies get lazy with their product.
