MS will be the largest game publisher one way or another, whether they have some foothold as a 1st party or not doesn't matter. If they want $80 games, then they'll have $80 games, be it on whatever platform. I doubt they're going to sell Call of Duty for $10 less on the Playstation, ain't happening, you're going to get the same price across the board on all platforms.
Sony will have $80 games, it's just inevitable.
You cannot increase the production cost of games by 30-50%+ every generation and expect pricing to stay the same forever.
