You have *not* put a ring on it; business partners are not romantic partners and have no reason to be faithful to you. And with the PS4 selling like it is, indy devs will just say "you know what? I don't have to mess with your bullshit." |
True, it's great for the market at large that they are losing so badly. Considering the global sales rates (more than 3:1 in favor of PS4 in 2014), there is less and less reason to even bother releasing XB1 software. Sales in Europe are so bad (and Japan joining in the fun now) that stores have already cut shelf space for XB1, and completely dropping it wouldn't make much of an impact at all.
