For the retail analogy to work, it would be like if Best Buy suddenly told Microsoft that because their Xbox allows people to subscribe to Xbox Live, Best Buy must get a cut of that subscription for every Xbox that's purchased in their stores.

This would be an absolutely perfect analogy. Maybe Comcast should get a cut too. In the end, Xbox Live is using its network to run the service.
