But it still gives them "Market Share"
just like the forced Windows preloads. If everybody bought a PC and replaced Windows with something else, Microsoft would still have a "50% market share" of the operating systems, even though their OS is not being used(ie: 10 PCs w/Windows, 10 replacement OSes = 10/20 for Microsoft).
Same thing happens if a bunch of people buy XBOXs and don't use them as game systems - Microsoft can still use those sales to influence third party game makers with XBOX's "larger market share". This could end up with more "exclusive to XBOX" games, just like we have lots of exclusive to Windows software.
