Since I got moderated by this I will go more indepth why indies won't do good on Xboner; It's quite obvious that M$ is going after the dudebro market (with all the sports games and CoD: Ghosts), and they ain't interested in indie games. The second reason is that indie devs needs a publisher to get a game out on xbla - and that's just hurting indie devs, not helping them in anyway.

If you're a indie dev you best go to Sony or Nintendo; there you can publish your own game (without a publisher) and you can set your own pricing. If M$ had their way the indie market would dry up and die, and I've already diven the reasons above. M$ seem to be all about Dudebros and casuals (Kinect) this time around. That's sad.

Microsoft's policy hasn't changed, yet we have seen plenty of indie games on the 360. They can complain about it all they want but in the end it boils down to money, and that is something that can be made quite easily when they make games for XBLA. 

I'm not saying Microsoft's policy on this issue is good, but it never stopped indie developers from making games for MS's systems before and it won't stop them now.

I'm pretty sure it won't be harder to make money on the PS4 than on the Xbox, no?

What I'm saying is that there are more options now, better options, so I'm pretty confident we'll see more indie games on PS4 relative to Xbox.
