So they cant get it right on the Current System, so why would they attempt on New System. The New System I would think would be More complex and more expensive to make the game on. I feel they could repair their Broken relationship(somewhat) with their fan base by making a good Current Gen Product. Now basically they are Saying," Hey we have sucked the last 3 years, go out and spend $$$ on New system, because if you DONT you cant play our product." Not a sound marketing strategy.
I understand where you are coming from as well, I just Dont think LIVE will rebound by ONLY being NEXT Gen available. I could be wrong though.
