I agree that they could make it so much more, but it was never a fixed 70% return for XBLA. The only thing that MS will say (and have been saying since XBLA was announced) is that it's on a sliding scale and everyone else is so heavily legaled-up they can't talk about it.
It was only rumoured that a company got 70% for an XBLA game, but it was the kind of rumour that spread everywhere, so when some guy says that some developers are getting as low as 35% the whole internets assumes that they have cut the price for everyone. Bastards!
When in fact they should be considered bastards because the median cut was probably always in the lower end of the 35-70% range.
