And see BECAUSE you make $15 back on a $60 game it at least gets you in the door to go buy a NEW game. People just ignore the fact that the money from selling games is coming back into the ecosystem n the Form of the purchase of a developers new release.
You're assuming that person is going to even buy a new game. I could buy used, rent, and borrow never giving a single dime back to the actual people who make the games.
You're assuming they won't buy a new game. It works both ways.

And whose to say Microsoft was going to 100% replicate steams model where discounted bundles were offered because of no used game market?
Exactly. People assume the publishers would magically drop the price of games even though they know people will pay $60 for a new game.

Outside of a few niche products, every company is trying to sell their products as cheap as possible while maintaining their margins. Why? Because the lower the price, the more you sell. Novel concept. I know.
