Hi Shaun, If Microsoft could do as you seam to think that wouldn't be fair, but legally they can't do that. They can not control another companies sales in that way, and force a home user to add graphics to the game etc... Remember XNA studios is suppose to be licensed for home users. It is not suppose to be for marketing, sales, and major production use. As to how much rights said company has is done through agreement between company and Microsoft. Naturally, if it leaves company on the short end of the stick they will tell Microsoft where to put there Xbox and hope they have a big enough hole to make it fit. Grin. Anyway, anything we are saying now is purely speculation. I am no fan of Microsoft to be sure, but I also know they can't outright control your company and or games by proxy, but they can stipulate standards for the Xbox which need to be met before you can target the console.
