I would. A company that puts Western games with emphasis on gameplay first would be surely missed.

There Xbox is the home of the best FPSs, TPSs and racing games. Those are 3 of the most popular genres in the gaming industry.

Microsoft is only making a couple of them.  The vast majority would just move to a different console.  

Who's making all of them? And isn't most of the high profile Japanese games that used to be PS exclusive jump to Xbox also?

The only one being made by microsoft are Gears and Halo.  Considering their sales, those will probably just end up being PC exclusives from then on.  It's literally win-win-win if Microsoft drops out.  Profits would be higher on less systems, and development costs would go down.  We may even have more FPS games in that case because resources would be freed up.  Believe me, the american FPS and TPS are the last thing that would ever disappear from gaming.  

The Japanese games are going multiplatform because there aren't enough sales on any one platform right now to justify exclusivity.  If it becomes a two person race that would very likely change.
