It matters because the brand is positioned to be the only home console brand. It still has the convinience and relatively cheap price compared to a prebuilt. What MS is doing is sacrilege because the lose the only differentiator between them and the competition. But when you don't need to differentiate you can go multiplat.
Sony is selling the PS5 around the same as the PS4 despite the insane pricing and barely any exclusives. This strategy could work at least short term but the growth is a problem. Don't assume everyone waits and pirates, FOMO is a hell of a drug and major releases make insane money on console still.
