It did a significant amount of damage to marketing contracts. Publishers make a lot of money from these contracts. If loopholes arise, the value diminishes, and the developer makes less money from such deals in the future.
This is a huge deal to any publisher. They want to protect their imediate and future income. If Microsoft is successful without an recoil and Sony follows, all publishers have a lot of $$$ to lose in the future. I bet you none of them want that.
