Personally i think it would matter. It shows how smart Microsoft is about gaming, see if anyone would be so eager to develop for Xbox then afterwards or how this would be a huge part of their blemish in the history of video gaming. Theres more to it than just money, if Microsoft even wants to compete in the console wars, they need a key hook that sells a console, if its not there it shows more than just losing money especially if it moves on to a huge rival console.
