Sony and Microsoft are spoiling Third Parties to much.

1st of all, sorry to highjack your thread :'P
To answer yout question, ideally no! In reality it's like with drugs, food etc. if there is not someone controlling what is being sold, money/greed makes people do horrible things, there's no such thing as self regulated market, this would only work if every actors had the same power along the line, which clearly they don't.

Nintendo in their good ol' Yamauchi japanese traditional iron fisted way tried to, with positive & negative aspects to it as always. Look at the great IPs born & still remaining under Nintendo great dictatorship ;P

That's not even close to being comparable. If someone puts some addictive chemical in your food, the only way for consumers to know that is if someone with the necessary expensive equipment analyzes it. If a game is buggy, you can hear about it from a reviewer prior to release (unless there's a review embargo) or from any of the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people who chose to buy the game day-1. If it has DLC and/or microtransactions, you usually hear about it from the publishers themselves before release.
