Nice move. Now that second rule also needs to go.

Actually this is something more or less common on both sides. There have been many instances where once a game, indie or even AAA, make it to Playstation after Xbox, there was some minor DLC included off the bat as an equalizer.

The second rule is just looking out for Xbox customers. Even something as trivial as costume skins would count.

Except that with indie games you're dealing with small teams that could finally choose to not release on XB1 because they haven't got the budget or time to develop the famous required enhancement

Again, it can be something as mere as xbox-centric skins/costumes. Something the revenue from sales can easily offset.
