MS relies heavily on 3rd party support ; Gears , Mass Effect , Bioshock ,Star Ocean , Splinter Cell are all 3rd party efforrt . This means we can't be certain of any future 3rd party support , even if ms is supper rich they are in this to make a profit and once they have the install base moneyhating will loose it's viability , how will this affect the 720 ? with ms reducing 1st party support(http://www.ensemblestudios.com/) it should be a major concern to us all.
