Publishers will do what they want to do. I don't see how it's the place of the console manufacturer to dictate over them. That's going to do nothing but ruin relationships and drive them into the arms of a competitor. Why do you think so many 3rd parties ditched Nintendo for the Playstation? 

Console manufacturers put billions on the line when they launch a gaming platform, this makes it perfectly reasonable that they get to dictate the rules instead of the outsiders who would like to make games for them.

Third parties ditched Nintendo for Sega (and later Sony, and later Microsoft) because they got more power there. Why do you think has gaming nowadays unfinished $60 games that receive large day 1 patches, not to mention paid DLC and microtransactions?

You're presenting a problem without a solution. Do you really think it's a good idea for Sony and Microsoft to tell publishers they can't release their games when they want? The only way to get a publisher to change their tactics is to hit them where it hurts, their wallets. As long as they keep making money, they won't change a thing.
